This is described by Sonnerat as a large spe- 
cies ; measuring a foot and nine inches from nose 
to tail ; the tail being also nine inches. Its co- 
lour is a pale yellowish-ferruginous on the upper 
parts, and white beneath : the tail bright ferru- 
ginous. The fur is extremely soft and crisped, 
and of a deeper colour on the region of the loins ; 
the face is black : the ears small : the eyes large, 
and of a greenish-grey; in the upper jaw, are two 
forfe-teeth : in the lower jaw four : the feet have 
five fingers, which have long claws, except the 
thumbs, which have rounded nails. Mr. Pen- 
nant, in the last , edition of his History of Qua- 
drupeds, seems to think this animal no other than 
the L. Mongoz, or Woolly Macauco, and com- 
plains that Sonnerat's figure is very inaccurate; 
but if Sonnerat's description be just, the species 
must certainly be a different one from the L. 
Mongoz. Two smaller varieties of the Flocky
