with long hairs to the wrist, longer than those on the corresponding portion of 

 the hind limb. Feet covered with short brown hairs, a few longer, overhang- 

 ing the claws. Claws strong, but short. Snout, ears, feet and tail brownish. 

 Tail thickened at the base, rounded, ringed and rather thickly clad with 

 brown hairs, with a few longer whitish hairs intermixed, and nearly equalling 

 the length of the trunk without the head. Fur soft, rather long : a rich 

 rusty brown, with a golden sheen in certain lights. Under surface rusty 

 gray. Some are darker than others.

These measurements would seem to indicate that the males have rather 

 longer tails than the females, but the specimens at my disposal are not 

 sufficiently numerous to permit of this point being settled, but there can be 

 no doubt of the specific identity of the specimens which yield these results. 



The skull of the ijipe aj^pears to be that of a male, not fully mature, 

 as its basi-occipital suture is still unclosed. The posterior j)rocess of the 

 first upper incisor is moderately developed and there is only a very obscure 

 process on its inner side. It is not so broad as the base of the front portion 

 of the tooth. The second incisor is large, and broader than the conjoint 

 third incisor and canine, but its tip is above the level of the j)oint of the 

 central cusp of the first molar. The canine is considerably larger than the 

 third incisor, and its point is below the level of the anterior cusp of the 

 first molar. 



There appears to be a considerable difference between the size of the 

 sexes, as indicated not only by the body measurements but by their skulls. 

 The skulls also indicate that the species is smaller than C. fulvocinerea, 

 because its skull although not very much older than the skulls of which 

 the measurements are given below exceeds them in size. Comjmring the 

 skulls of these two species, the first upper incisors of C. fulvocinerea are 

 seen to be larger than in (7. hlythii, whereas the second upper incisor of the 

 latter is considerably larger than the corresiDonding incisor of G. fulvo- 

 cinerea, and its canine is more pointed and larger than the third incisor. 

 The premolar of G. hlythii is relatively larger than the premolar of G. fulvo- 

 cinerea and it has a small cusp-like process of the cingulum on its outer 

 side, which is partially visible externally.
