4362 Quadrupeds. 



Millet. — Ears oblong-oval, somewhat longer than the head, and 

 notched at their external margin, with an external lobe reach- 

 ing to about half their length, which is folded inwards in a state 

 of repose. Tragus subulate, reaching to the notch of the ear. 

 Feet hairy on their outer surface. 



Above reddish gray, below paler; the hairs of the back long 

 and soft to the touch, brown for their first half and pale reddish 

 ash at their extremity. 



Temminck. — Form and size much as in V. mystacinus, with which 

 it may be readily confounded. 



Outer margin of the ears dilated into a distinct lobe, marked 

 by a longitudinal crease or plait. Upper surface of the ears 

 covered with scattered hairs, at the base very hairy. Above, all 

 the parts of a rufous tint more or less bright, tinged with yel- 

 lowish and brown. Hairs brown at their base, then yellowish 

 and terminated with rufous. Below ash-coloured, slightly tinged 

 with rufous, particularly the parts above the humerus. Mem- 

 branes dirty brown. 

 M. Temminck commends the figures of GeofTroy and Bonaparte as 

 being exact, but there is very little resemblance between them, more 

 especially the crania. 



Macgillivray. — Muzzle of moderate length and slightly emar- 

 ginate between the nostrils. Ears as long as the head, widely 

 separated, ovate-obtuse, but outwards, their inner margin con- 

 vex, the outer with a semicircular lobe at the base, and a wide 

 and deep sinus in their upper half. Viewed without reference 

 to the basal lobe, they might be described as oblong, but other- 

 wise they are broadly ovate and deeply emarginate. Tragus 

 subulate, more than half the length of the ear. Membranes 

 bare. Tail extending half a line beyond the interfemoral mem- 

 brane. Cutaneous system dusky. Fur long, close, and very 

 soft, inclining to silky. A series of long, soft, mystacial hairs 

 on each side of the upper jaw, and a few project from the chin. 

 General colour very light reddish brown, inclining to gray on 

 the upper parts, and grayish white tinged with brown on the 

 lower ; but the basal portion of the fur above and below is dark 

 brown. 

 My own specimens before alluded to agree so closely with the 

 above description that 1 refrain from giving any further account, ex-
