Except in certain minor points the coloration agrees well 

 with that of Elliott's plate ; but the spots on the sides are less 

 ..distinct than they are in that figure, while the upper surface of 

 the tail is gi'eyer and there are indications of several vertical grey 

 bars on each side of the body, owing to the tips of the liaira in the 

 tracks they mark being paler than elsewhere. The fur is rather 

 long, very close and soft. . . 



The skull closely resembles that of F. 7)iarmorata^ but is some- 

 what less massive as well as being smaller. The dentition is 

 •characterized by the fact that the anterior upper praemolar, as in 

 F, planiceps, has two roots and is unusually well developed. The 

 inner cusp of the fii'st true molar is distinctly marked off from 

 the rest of the teeth ; while the second molar is minute and bus 

 its two roots closely pressed, and partially fused together. 



The following are the measurements of the skull :
