Upperpavts colored like in the foregoing species, the tinge is how- 
ever somewhat more brownish, caused by the hairs being for a 
larger part tipped with brownish; this color prevails still more on 
the nnderparts of the animal. Tail much more conical than in Gr. 
wcheri and oricntalis; the hairs on the tail are black colored like in 
the named species , but they are generally longer, especially towards the 
base of that organ, where also some very elongate hairs are to be found. 
Upper jaw. exactly hke the same parts in Gr. orientalis. 
Lower jaw : I see no difference between Gr. hrevicauda and Gr. orientalis. 
All the teeth are white.
