  Anderson 
  describes 
  this 
  specimen 
  in 
  Zool. 
  Exped. 
  Yunnan, 
  as 
  

   brick 
  red, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  much 
  too 
  dark 
  for 
  that 
  color, 
  and 
  is 
  more 
  near 
  a 
  

   rather 
  bright 
  golden 
  cinnamon, 
  darkest 
  on 
  upper 
  parts 
  where 
  the 
  black 
  

   tips 
  of 
  the 
  hairs 
  are 
  in 
  evidence. 
  The 
  hairs 
  on 
  sides 
  of 
  body 
  and 
  limbs 
  

   are 
  unicolor 
  without 
  black 
  tips, 
  which 
  produces 
  the 
  brighter 
  hue 
  

   presented 
  by 
  them. 
  The 
  animal 
  is 
  very 
  small, 
  about 
  two 
  thirds 
  the 
  

   size 
  of 
  P. 
  speciosus 
  F. 
  Cuv., 
  probably 
  only 
  half 
  grown 
  as 
  the 
  skull 
  

   shows 
  it 
  to 
  be 
  quite 
  young. 
  The 
  molar 
  teeth 
  are 
  very 
  large, 
  unusually 
  

   so 
  considering 
  the 
  age 
  of 
  the 
  individual, 
  the 
  second 
  molar 
  exceeding 
  

   in 
  size 
  any 
  in 
  the 
  adult 
  skulls 
  of 
  other 
  species.
