This animal is distinguished by the great 
length of its hind legs. Its general length from 
the nose to the tail is almost six inches; and from 
the nose to the hind toes eleven inches and a 
half : the tail nine inches and a half. The face 
is sharp or pointed : the eyes very large and full : 
the ears upright, broad, naked, and rounded. 
Between the ears on the top of the head is a tuft 
of long hairs : several long hairs also proceed from 
each side of the upper chap : in each jaw, accord- 
ing to the observation of Mr. Pennant, are two 
cutting, and two canine teeth, forming an excep- 
tion in this respect to the rest of the genus. The 
body is of a slender form ; the feet are slender 
and the claws pointed : the thumbs are large and 
rounded. The legs and feet are but thinly co- 
vered with hair : the tail also is thinly covered, 
except towards the end, where it is terminated by 
a tuft. The colour of this species is grey-brown 
or mouse-colour, paler beneath. It is a native of 
Amboina and some other East-Indian Islands.
