A single nearly adult example of this species (fig. 102, p. 130), remarkable 
for the absence of white on the inner sides of the legs and on the body, was

Museum. 
The specimen in question was examined by the person who skinned it for 
Lord Delamere, and, according to his evidence, was ascertained to be of the
