154 LEMUR 



tinged with brown ; on each side of this on top of head, and on sides 

 in front of ears white or yellowish white ; beneath ears, hind neck, and 

 upper parts of body, and shoulders, deep ochraceous buff with a red- 

 dish tinge ; arms much discolored, but seem to be paler than back until 

 halfway on forearms where they are like the upper parts to wrists and 

 hands ; outer side of legs and flanks pale golden yellow ; feet so dis- 

 colored with the dust of years, nearly a century, that it is impossible 

 to tell with certainty what was the original color, but from one or two 

 places that show a little color, it would seem to have been like that on 

 the back; under parts and inner side of limbs pale golden yellow, 

 possibly, originally a rich golden yellow ; tail mostly denuded of fur, 

 and what remains is black with dust, but probably in the life of the 

 animal it was like the back, reddish and ochraceous buff.
