Tus species is two feet in length, the tail nine 
inches, the height at the shoulder ten inches. It 
has, according to Mr Martin, “ a remarkably stout 
form of body and shortness of limbs; the tail is 
rather short, with hairs of moderate length, except 
the extremity, where it forms an abrupt full tuft 
tipped with sooty black; the fur in general is full, 
rather deep and harsh; on the body the colour is 
hoary mixed with black, the latter predominating 
down the back; head rather fulvous, grizzled with 
hoary ; the muzzle and chin dusky; edges of the 
lips white ; ears short, chestnut brown; outside the 
anterior limbs are dusky black freckled with ful- 
yous, inner side and toes pale fulvous brown; a 
dark spot above the tarsal joint; tarsi and toes 
fulvous brown; upper coat of hair dusky brown 
at base, with a yellow white band above and 
black tips, whence the grizzled appearance of the 
general colour.”
