The Angwdntibo is covered with a thick and long wool- 
like hair, which becomes short and thin on the face and on the 
extremities, the inner sides of the fore and hind hands being free 
from hair. The hair is of a dark gray colour at the base, and 
the upper third or so of its length is of a light brown or fawn 
colour, the terminal points being of a darker brown ; this is 
the general character of the fur of the upper parts of the body 
and limbs. The face in front of the eyes is rather darker in 
colour, but the sides of the head are lighter, and the chin 
and throat are nearly white. The inner surface of the limbs 
is also lighter, as well as the whole under surface of the 
body, the gray hairs having their distal half of a light fawn 
colour, and in some places nearly white. The specimen having 
been for a long time preserved in spirits, makes it a little diffi- 
cult to get at the minute details of colour. There are no 
stripes or markings on the back, or other parts of the body, 
to be observed on this animal, as on the Stenops tardigradus 
of the East Indies ; its general appearance being more uniform 
over the surface, although somewhat mottled in character, from 
the hair varying in colour at base and apex. 
The Body of the Angwdntiljo is slender, and measures 10 J 
inches in length from the point of the muzzle to the extremity 
of the very short tail, which is completely hid in the long fur 
of the body, and measures only about Jth of an inch in length. 
This animal is a male ; the penis, which is supported appa- 
rently by a small bone, projecting upwards and forwards from 
the rounded scrotum. 
The Head is oval and rounded, tapering rapidly in front 
of the eyes ; the muzzle protruded, full or blunt, and rather 
prominent. The breadth of the head, in front of the ears, 
is about IJ inch ; iii front of the eyes, about f ths of an inch. 
The length from the mesian line of the nose to the ante- 
rior part of meatus of ear is If inches ; from point of nose to 
anterior angle of the eye is ftlis of an inch ; from anterior 
angle of eye to front of opening of ear, 1^ inch, — the total 
length of head from muzzle, to back part, being nearly 2J 
1849 (Mammalia, &c., with JS'otes, by Edward Blyth), shows no such conjunc- 
tion of the firat phalanges, but three distinct phalanges are figured to each of 
the fingers.
