This small species (if such exists) depends 
merely on the authority of a drawing, with its de- 
scription^ communicated to Petiver, and by him 
represented in his work entitled Gazophylacium, 
(§r. The same figure is also engraved by Mr. 
Schreber, in his plates of Quadrupeds. It is said 
to be a native of the Philippine islands, and is 
represented by Petiver with a young one under its 
body, which is supposed to have been tied there 
by means of a slender twig of some plant coiled 
round its own back. 
The original from which the above figure in 
Petiver was copied is among the drawings of Camel 
(Kamel), or CameUi, as he is sometimes called, 
and which are now preserved in the British Mu- 
seum. As a further illustration of so curious a 
subject cannot but be acceptable to every natural- 
ist, I shall here give Camelli s own description, 
together with faithful copies of all the figures, 
four in number, with which his account is accom- 
panied. These figures are reduced from the ori- 
ginals, in order to bring them wdthin the com- 
pass of tli^ annexed plate. It is impossible to de- 
termine from the figures and description whether 
this species should or should not be placed in the 
prehensile- tailed division of the genus.
