iThis animal is rendered exceedingly remark- 
able by five longitudinal rows of white spots* 
which run along the body, and approach each 
other at their extremities." 
The head is described as long, and very 
convex ; the eyes, as large, prominent, and 
oC a brownish colour ; the ears, as roundish, 
and covered with a fine and almost impercep- 
tible as well as impalpable down ; the nose, as 
broad, and nearly black at the extremity, with 
wide nostrils, and divided like those of the 
Hare ; and the under jaw, as an inch shorter, 
and much narrower, than the upper. The 
I animal has considerable strength and address 
in it's snout : and, on each side of the upper 
jaw, there is a longitudinal fold, which may, 
on a side view, be taken for the mouthy espe- 
cially as the mouth only appears when it is 
open, has a small aperture of but six or seven 
lines, and is not more than two or three lines 
distant from this fold. Each jaw has two very 
long incisive teeth, which are as yellow as 
saffron ; and with these, BufFon tells us, he 
has seen this animal, in the course of a single 
night, cut a hole in one of the planks of it's 
lodging,
