The fur is fine and moderately long. It consists of two kinds of hairs — 

 long, entirely black, rather stiff hairs, and shorter hairs with a subapical orange 

 or dark rufous-brown band. The former kind occurs most numerously on the 

 interscapular black band and on the hind quarters ; the orange-banded hairs 

 cover the head, where they are very short the shoulder band, and a rather 

 broad area below the interscapular band. The dark rufous-brown hairs occur 

 chiefly on the sides, the colour of which and of the limbs is a deep ferruginous 

 chestnut gradually passing into the black of the back. The tail is dark, very 

 deep ferruginous-chestnut and bright rusty on the under surface. The chin and 

 the throat are rusty brown, the chest and belly being paler chestnut than the 

 upper parts. 



The skull is at once distinguished from the skulls of all known TupaicB by the 

 long attenuated character of the pre-ocular portion. 



The animal is much larger than any of the other species, and has a considerably 

 longer snout. The tail is about the length of the body, exclusive of the head.

The face is moderately long, but not nearly so pointed as in T. tana, to which 

 the species is allied, and the anterior portion is somewhat depressed. The two 

 first incisors are prominent and project downwards anterior to the lower lip. The 

 feet arc large and the claws strongly developed. The ear is moderately large and 

 quadrangular. The front and sides of the face, the outside of the fore limbs, the 

 throat and chest, are golden yellow, with an ochrey tint deepening on the sides and 

 abdomen, and on the inside of the hind limbs to a rich rufous brown, which is also 

 the colour of the outside of the hind limbs and hind feet. The top of the head is 

 rich dark brown, almost chestnut brown, with shining golden hairs intermixed. An 

 oblong, pale golden brown area on the back between the shoulders, with a dark
