1865.] OF ENTOMOPHAGOUS EDENTATA. 381 
The specimen living in the Gardens of the Zoological Society, I 
have been informed by Mr. Bartlett and Dr. Peters, has only three 
front claws; all those in the British Museum have four, which ap- 
pears to be the normal number. In other respects the animals are 
similar. The shell of the living animal is blackish brown. The skin 
between the central rings is brown, bald, and smooth. The animal 
sleeps rolled up with its head downwards. 
The skull that Giebel (Zeitschrift, 1861, t. 234. f. 2) figures as 
that of Dasypus conurus may belong to this species; it is unlike the 
skull of Tolypeutes tricinctus in not having any tubercles over the 
orbits ; but it is doubtful, as one of the skulls figured on these plates 
is wrongly determined, and the descriptions of the skeletons to which 
they belong, therefore, cannot belong to the species to which they 
are referred. The one named D. villosus is D. sexcinctus. 
Tribe 3, CutamypoPpHoriINA. The dorsal disk divided into two
