6. HAKPYIA. 89 



Integument of the body and wings dark brown, with several cir- 

 cular unequal white spots on the forearms and fingers, and a few 

 on the wing-membrane. 



Fur, above, reddish brown with an ashy tinge ; beneath, dull yel- 

 lowish white ; a darker-coloured, almost black, streak, generally very 

 narrow, but in some specimens increasing considerably in width 

 posteriorly, extends from between the shoulders to the base of the 

 interf emoral- membrane. 



Skull rather short ; premaxillary bones well developed and united 

 in front, the extremities of the nasal bones much elevated above the 

 margin of the jaw ; frontal bones slightly grooved mesiaUy in front, 

 elevated laterally, considerably raised above the nasals in front ; 

 postorbital processes short, their bases not perforated by a foramen 

 as in Ci/nopterus. 



Upper incisors well developed, filling up the space between the 

 canines ; each tooth is broadly conical, with a small external cusp ; 

 canines thick but not acute, with a second obtuse projection on the 

 outer side near the extremity ; first upper premolar minute, with a 

 flattened crown, scarcely as high as the cingulum of the canine, in 

 the narrow space between the canine and the second premolar, which 

 is equal to about one half the canine ; first molar with an oblique 

 crown, slightly smaller than the second premolar, and equal to the 

 second molar in cross section ; lower canines close together in front ; 

 first lower premolar very small, with a flattened crown, having a 

 small external cusp ; second premolar three fourths the size of the 

 canine, and much larger than the third, which equals the first 

 molar in cross section ; last lower molar scarcely more than half the 

 size of the antepenultimate molar, with a flat, oblong, rectangular 

 crown.

The original description of this species by Pallas leaves little to 

 be desired. It contains also an excellent account of the visceral 

 anatomy, illustrated by several figures.

Harpyia major, Bobson, P. Z. S. 1877, p. 187, figs. 1-3. 



Much larger than H. cephalotes, Pallas, but with shorter ears, 

 longer nasal tubes, and much paler-coloured fur, differing also in the 

 form of the skull and of some of the teeth. 



Fur, above, pale buff, the base of the hairs on the back dark ; ex- 

 tremities of the hairs on' the head and about the ears yellow ; on the 

 back the greater part pale buff ; a dark vertebral line, as in H. cepha-
