  in 
  color, 
  but 
  all 
  are 
  in 
  bad 
  condition, 
  and 
  one, 
  the 
  nearest 
  in 
  color 
  to 
  

   the 
  figure 
  in 
  Spix's 
  plate 
  has 
  lost 
  most 
  of 
  the 
  hair 
  on 
  the 
  body. 
  They 
  

   are 
  all 
  reddish 
  brown, 
  of 
  different 
  shades 
  however, 
  caused 
  somewhat, 
  

   possibly, 
  by 
  fading 
  or 
  from 
  the 
  accumulation 
  of 
  dust. 
  One 
  has 
  the 
  

   body 
  above 
  of 
  a 
  buff 
  color, 
  another 
  raw 
  umber, 
  while 
  another 
  is 
  dark 
  

   reddish 
  brown. 
  The 
  tails 
  vary 
  also 
  in 
  color 
  from 
  a 
  dark 
  reddish 
  brown 
  

   to 
  almost 
  black. 
  The 
  fur 
  is 
  short, 
  rather 
  thick, 
  soft 
  and 
  silky 
  to 
  the 
  

   touch, 
  very 
  different 
  from 
  that 
  of 
  L. 
  lagotricha 
  and 
  the 
  group 
  it 
  

   represents.
