REMARKS ON 
set on the head, neck, and upper part of the body : it is 
woolly on the back, flanks, and tail ; but its length is not 
above two inches on any part of the body, except at the 
extremity of the tail, where it is nearly three inches long. 
The belly and inside of the upper part of the legs are 
nearly naked. The hair on the lower part of the limbs is 
very short, and sleek ; and the whole coat of the animal is 
extremely soft. 
The upper lip is bifid ; the sulcus is moist ; peculiarities 
which become very apparent when the animal is eating. 
The structure of the upper lip gives it very considerable 
power in collecting the food. The sides of both lips appear 
wrinkled ; their edges thick. The tip of the nose is covered 
with hair like the rest of the face. The nostrils are oblong. 
The eyes are of a deep-blue, and have a very mild expres- 
sion, like those of an antelope : they are furnished with 
long, silky, black eye-lashes, and there are long hairs of 
the same colour in the supercilia. The face suddenly con- 
tracts below the eyes, though the muzzle is not very acute. 
The forehead is broad : the ears are very long, and often 
in brisk motion, though generally erect. 
The neck is long, slender, and cylindrical, and is gene- 
rally arched into a graceful curve : it springs easily from 
the chest, without shewing any abrupt curve. The animal 
has vast command over this part, and can readily turn its 
head over its rump, without moving the limbs. The hair 
on the neck is remarkably woolly, and soft, but very short. 
The arching of the back is very considerable : the shoulder 
is lower than the rump : the circumference of the loins is 
slender. The tail was either observed to be freely pendu- 
lous, or to be pressed down over the anus when the animal 
dreaded any thing. The under side of the tail is provided 
with long whitish hair, which hangs down below its tip.
