 Fig. 1. Manis tricuspis. Juvenile female, Avakubi, October 29, 1909 (No. 

 53888) . This individual is a good example of the age period in which the dorsal scales 

 are tricuspid. 



Fig. 2. Manis tricuspis. Adult male, Stanleyville, August 9, 1909 (No. 53938). 



The mid-dorsal scales of this individual are no longer tricuspid, though this pattern is still retained 

 on the scales of the head and flank. When photographed the animal was not so closely coiled as is 

 possible.
