  The 
  animal 
  is 
  very 
  thickly 
  covered 
  

   with 
  long 
  loose 
  hairs, 
  to 
  enable 
  it 
  to 
  resist 
  the 
  high

  it 
  inhabits.

   Swinhoe's 
  own 
  description 
  as 
  it 
  appeared 
  when 
  he 
  procured 
  it. 
  The 
  

   specimen 
  is 
  a 
  female. 
  "Eyes 
  bright 
  hazel 
  ; 
  face 
  and 
  ears 
  flesh-colored 
  ; 
  

   a 
  black 
  tuft 
  on 
  either 
  cheek 
  like 
  whiskers; 
  skin 
  of 
  nude 
  parts 
  tinted 
  

   with 
  blue 
  and 
  sparsely 
  grayish 
  brown, 
  covered 
  with 
  hairs 
  of 
  a 
  light 
  

   gray 
  ; 
  the 
  hairs 
  on 
  the 
  belly 
  buff 
  ; 
  fur 
  of 
  upper 
  parts 
  washed 
  with 
  buff, 
  

   which 
  is 
  lighter 
  on 
  the 
  head, 
  and 
  brick-dust 
  red 
  around 
  and 
  about 
  the 
  

   rump. 
  Tail 
  Ay 
  2 
  inches, 
  blackish, 
  callosities 
  flesh 
  colored. 
  Face

  Measurements. 
  Skull: 
  occipito-nasal 
  length, 
  78.6; 
  Hensel, 
  51.3; 
  

   zygomatic 
  width, 
  57.8; 
  intertemporal 
  breadth, 
  41.2; 
  palatal 
  length, 
  

   25.2; 
  median 
  length 
  of 
  nasals, 
  12.9; 
  length 
  of 
  mandible, 
  58.8. 
  

  

  The 
  animal 
  was 
  only 
  about 
  four 
  months 
  old 
  and 
  had 
  not 
  its 
  com- 
  

   plement 
  of 
  teeth, 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  impossible 
  to 
  decide 
  whether 
  it 
  represents 
  a 
  

   new 
  species 
  or 
  one 
  already 
  known. 
  Adults 
  from 
  the 
  same 
  locality 
  

   must 
  be 
  first 
  procured 
  before 
  an 
  accurate 
  decision 
  can 
  be 
  arrived 
  at.
