 large, long, thick, and ftrong whifkers ; the eyes are large : On the neck and fhoulders of the male 

 is a great mane of coarfe, long, flowing hair ; the rell of the body is covered with a Ihort, fmooth, 

 glofly fur; the fore feet are black, and refemble flat leather-like fins, without any appearance of 

 toes ; the hind feet are very broad, having very fmall nails, with a long, narrow, ftripe of membrane 

 beyond each ; the tail is very fhort ; the hinder parts are very large, much fwelled, and exceffively 

 fat. This fpecies lives in families, each male having many females ; they have a fierce look, but fly

 refling places ; they fafl in breeding time for three or four months, fwallowing great quantities of 

 flones to keep their flomachs diftended.
