This species presents precisely the same generic peculiarities which 

 characterize the foregoing; and they are quite as typically developed. 

 It possesses the same elevated crown and small muzzle, and has ears 

 ami tragi of a similar shape, the differences being mch only a-- are 

 purely specific ; but these differences, taken in the . mil -cn-e. are 

 very conspicuous. Whilst the fur is relatively as long as that noticed 

 of A', papillosa, it is, ill addition to that, \ery thick and curly, with 

 the tips very glossy. 



But it is necessary first to notice some other slight differences 

 which exist in the form of the ears and the distribution of the fur. 

 The ears, although of the Bame general form as those of K, picta 

 and the other species here treated of, yet differ in being mure deeply 

 notched externally towards the tip. 



The tragus is of the same tapering and pointed form observable 

 in the other species. 



The face is very hairy, in .some examples excessively BO, the fur 

 of the forehead almost concealing the ear- ; and tl is ofthe Bame Boft 

 Quality as that on the top of the head and 00 the hack, a small 



quantity only in front of the eye sssuming a more bristly appear- 

 ance. The ears bave their hinder surfaces clothed with hair-, and 

 when seen from behind are Bcarcelj visible. The fur of the back 



does not encroach on the membrane- of tin bin-, Mil extendi OH
