furnished with a small claw ; middle finger very little longer than the 

 fourth, but there is much more difference between the latter and the second, 

 about as much as there is between the second and fifth. Tubercles beneath 

 the fore foot five in number, all of good size and near together, three in a 

 triangle at the base of the middle toes, and two opposite to each other and 

 to the base of the thumb. In the hind foot the second and fourth toes are 

 very nearly the same length, and but very little shorter than the third ; 

 the fourth exceeds the fifth by rather more than the length of the termi- 

 nal phalanx of the former, and the difference between the fifth and first is 

 less, being about the length of the distal phalanx of the fifth toe. There 

 are six pads or tubercles on the sole of the hind foot, the three inner much 

 further apart than the three outer, the last outer being rather smaller than 

 the rest, and the last inner pad, which is considerably behind all the 

 others, being situated rather nearer to the most distal tubercle than to the 

 heel. Lower portion of tarsus well covered with hair. 



Tail between one third and one half the length of the head and body, 

 cylindrical, scarcely diminishing in diameter towards the tip, well clad with 

 hair, which projects about one fifth of an inch beyond the end of the verte- 

 brae.

In the first upper molar the anterior outer angle is distinctly nearer 

 the hinder part of the jaw than the anterior inner angle. The third upper 

 molar has three nearly equidistant outer angles, the sinus intervenino- be- 

 tween the second and third angle being much deeper than that between 

 the first and second. The inner angles in this tooth are much more promi-
