FLOCKY MAUCAUCO. 
I . _ 
legs are shorter than the hind-legs. The coatj 
of this small Maucauca has, as it were, thei 
appearance of being marbled with a pale 
tawny colour: the far behig, at the rootis, ofP 
a mouse-grey; and, at the extremity, a palek 
tawny. The fur on the upper part of the in 
body is six lines in length, but that beneath | 
is only four. The entire under part, from the 
lower jaw, is v^^hite ; but, on the belly and 
uiider parts of 'the limbs, the white is a little 
mingled with a yellowish and gi-eyish hue. 
The head is in front large, and the muzzle, 
very pointed; which gives an air of great 
sharpness to the visage. The foreliead is 
straight; and the eyes are round and full. 
The ears, which are nine lines high, and seven 
broad, differ from those of other Maucaucos=5 
which are large, and have the semblance of 
being flattened at the ends: those of this 
small species are large at the base ; rounded ; 
and edged, as well as covered, with ash- 
coloured hairs. Round the eyes, as well as 
the ears, the sides of the cheeks, and the fore- 
parts of the arms and legs, is of a clear ash- 
colour. The length of this animal, taken in a 
straight line, is ten inches and three lines; 
but.
