because they are not produced by the presence of hairs which are 

 white throughout, but by dark reddish hairs tipped with white for 

 not more than one sixth of their length. 



The nipples are four in number. The crumenal glands are quite 

 small. No supraorbital glands were recognizable. In the fore 

 limb the interdigital skin is inflected but slightly, and there is no 

 special gland differentiated, although the surface of the skin is appa- 

 rently studded with minute gland-openings. In the hind limb 

 the interdigital skin forms a deep pocket, which almost completely 

 separates the toes, except that they are joined by a thin transverse 

 skin-fold along their posterior edges. The included skin is studded 

 with small glands. I can find no trace of any metatarsal glands. 



The muffle is as deep as broad, and extends one half up the outer 

 margin of the narial orifice. 



In the neiT-born female the milk-incisors and lower canines are 

 cut, as is the sharp small upper canine. The milk-molars are in place, 

 partly disguised by a layer of mucous membrane covering them. 

 The anterior portion of the palate is covered with the ordinary 

 transverse ridges, running outwards from the middle line ; poste- 

 riorly it is smooth. 



The tongue shows but little of the intermolar eminence. The 

 fungiform papillas are numerous, and stand out conspicuously. Pos- 

 tero-laterally they develop into lines of papillae circumvallatse. 



The stomach is not favourable for study, because of its being so 

 httle developed. The villi on the rudimentary paunch look like the 

 pile on thick- set velvet. The hexagonal cells in the reticulum are 

 conspicuous though not high-walled. By the aid of a magnifying

glass the psalterium is seen to be quadruplicate — in other words, to 

 have its laminae arranged in four powers, there being two primary 

 laminae, with secondary smaller folds between them, on each side of 

 which are smaller laminae, with linear rows of papillae (rudimentary 

 laminfe) between them, of the fourth power. The large aboniasum 

 is not peculiar.
