  The 
  species 
  is 
  nearest 
  to 
  L. 
  matschie, 
  but 
  differs 
  in 
  several 
  impor- 
  

   tant 
  particulars 
  ; 
  the 
  back 
  is 
  more 
  yellowish 
  ; 
  the 
  tail 
  much 
  darker 
  and 
  

   the 
  legs 
  grayer 
  ; 
  but 
  the 
  hair 
  is 
  much 
  longer 
  and 
  thicker 
  on 
  back 
  than 
  in 
  

   any 
  other 
  species 
  of 
  the 
  genus, 
  especially 
  about 
  the 
  shoulders, 
  where 
  it 
  

   almost 
  forms 
  a 
  mane.
