The Angwdntibo is covered with a thick and long wool- 

 like hair, which becomes short and thin on the face and on the 

 extremities, the inner sides of the fore and hind hands being free 

 from hair. The hair is of a dark gray colour at the base, and 

 the upper third or so of its length is of a light brown or fawn 

 colour, the terminal points being of a darker brown ; this is 

 the general character of the fur of the upper parts of the body 

 and limbs. The face in front of the eyes is rather darker in 

 colour, but the sides of the head are lighter, and the chin 

 and throat are nearly white. The inner surface of the limbs 

 is also lighter, as well as the whole under surface of the 

 body, the gray hairs having their distal half of a light fawn 

 colour, and in some places nearly white. The specimen having 

 been for a long time preserved in spirits, makes it a little diffi- 

 cult to get at the minute details of colour. There are no 

 stripes or markings on the back, or other parts of the body, 

 to be observed on this animal, as on the Stenops tardigradus 

 of the East Indies ; its general appearance being more uniform 

 over the surface, although somewhat mottled in character, from 

 the hair varying in colour at base and apex. 



The Body of the Angwdntibo is slender, and measures 10J 

 inches in length from the point of the muzzle to the extremity 

 of the very short tail, which is completely hid in the long fur 

 of the body, and measures only about £th of an inch in length. 

 This animal is a male ; the penis, which is supported appa- 

 rently by a small bone, projecting upwards and forwards from 

 the rounded scrotum. 



The Head is oval and rounded, tapering rapidly in front 

 of the eyes ; the muzzle protruded, full or blunt, and rather 

 prominent. The breadth of the head, in front of the ears, 

 is about 1J inch ; in front of the eyes, about Jths of an inch. 

 The length from the mesian line of the nose to the ante- 

 rior part of meatus of ear is If inches ; from point of nose to 

 anterior angle of the eye is fths of an inch ; from anterior 

 angle of eye to front of opening of ear, 1% inch, — the total 

 length of head from muzzle, to back part, being nearly 



1849 (Mammalia, &c, with Notes, by Edward Blyth), shows no such conjunc- 

 tion of the first phalanges, but three distinct phalanges are figured to each of 

 the fingers.
