The hair of the body is long and coarse, its basal portion 
peculiarly brittle and pith-like ; “the terminal half is black with 
ferruginous tips, producing a rich brown colour. The dorsal 
region is darker than the flanks, owing to the hairs having broader 
black bands with correspondingly reduced coloured tips; on the 
neck the tips are paler and longer, the black being much "reduced, 
which gives a tawny appearance; towards the “head the black 
again increases, till the shorter hairs of the ears, face, and chin 
are almost black. The ears are thickly covered inside and out 
with hair, that on the inside being broadly tipped with white. 
The fore and hind-feet are black, most of the hairs being 
minutely tipped with buff; the inner sides of the legs and the 
abdomen are clothed with long yellowish hair of a finer and more 
ordinary character. There is no turn in the hair of the face, the 
hair growing upwards from the nose. The ears are very short 
and partially concealed by the rough hair. The rhinarium from 
the nostrils down is deep. Tail entirely wanting.
