The above description of this very remarkable species is extracted 

 from the original account given by Mr. E. P. Eamsay, but without 

 either a description or good figures of the skull and dentition it is 

 impossible to obtain a clear idea of its affinities. The reversal of 

 the whole of the fur of the back and the great proportional size of 

 the first incisors are both characters of so much importance as to 

 show that D. dorianus is a species very distinct from any of the 

 other members of the genus.
