vered and edged with ash-coloured hairs. The 
circumference of^e eyes^ the ears, and the sides 
of the cheeks, are of a clear ash-colour, as well as 
the fore parts of the arms and legs. The length 
of this animal, measured in a straight hne, is ten 
inches and three lines ; but if measured according 
to the curvature of the body, one foot and two 
lines: the length of the head, from the tip of the 
nose to the hind part, is two inches and five 
lines. The interior toe is furnished with a sharp 
crooked claw^: the rest with nails. The tail is 
fifteen inches long, of an uniform thickness 
throughout its whole length, and of the same 
colour with the body; the tip is rather deeper 
than the rest, and the fur on this part measures 
seven lines. It must be considered, I think, in 
no other light than as a variety of the L. laniger.

This, which is also described by Cepede, seems 
greatly allied to the former; from which it differs, 
on a general view, principally in the tints and

of the former, but is more thick, woolly, crisp, 
and tufted, as it were, causing the animal to ap- 
pear thicker in proportion. The head is large, 
and the snout not so long in proportion as in the 
Vari, the Mongoz, and the Macauco. The eyes 
are very large, and the eyelids bordered with 
blackish. The forehead is large, and the ears 
short and hid in the fur. The tore legs short in 
comparison with the hinder. The tip of the nose
