Snout rather short, and broad anteriorly, not densely clad ; ears not 

 large but well developed, sparsely clad with short hairs ; feet well developed 

 but not large, and rather thinly clothed with short pale-coloured hairs ; 

 claws moderately long and pale yellow. Tail not swollen at the base, some- 

 what tetragonal, sparsely covered with short brown hairs, with intermixed 

 whitish hairs which are deep black or brownish in the lower halves ; tail 

 finely ringed, 55 rings to the half inch. Snout, hands, feet and upper surface 

 of the tail yellowish-brown, paler on the under-surface of the tail. Fur soft, 

 silky, moderately long, dull brown above, and dark gray on the under-parts.

The first upper incisors are well developed, meeting in the mesial line, 

 anteriorly and downwardly directed, with but little backward curve. There 

 is a small but well developed tubercle on the inner side of the j)osterior 

 portion which is sharp and conical. The second incisor is very large, 

 broader than the third and the canine, and downwardly projected to almost 

 the same level as the tip of the chief cusp of the first molar. The third 

 incisor is slightly smaller than the canine. The premolar is about two- 

 thirds of the size of the third incisor, but its tip is considerably below the level 

 of the point of the anterior cusp of the first molar ; it lies immediately be- 

 hind the canine and is almost wholly visible externally. The skull is young, 

 but the species does not appear to attain to any great size, and it probably 

 does not exceed, when fully adult, more than 3 inches in length, exclusive 

 of the tail.
