Plate XXIV, fig. 2 



Characters. — Distinguished from the preceding mainly, if not entirely, 

 by its inferior dimensions, the height at the shoulder being only 20^ 

 inches. The throat, neck, and chest are light fawn, and the abdomen 

 white ; the dark shading occupies the lower part of the face, the front of 

 the fore-legs, and the outer side of the hind-limbs. 



This brocket, of which the type is in the Paris Museum, was long 

 confounded with the black-faced brocket ; and it should probably be re- 

 garded as a sub-species rather than a species. The figure in the plate is 

 taken from a mounted specimen now exhibited in the British Museum. 



Distribution. — Central America, especially Guatemala.
