M Coclogenys paca. Dr. Hensel has found that a place at the inner margin 
of the fore foot of the Paca and Aguti, corresponding to the part with which 
Rodents are in the habit of cleaning head and face, is covered with very short 
and fine hairs, and that this peculiarity is visible already in the foetus. He 
regards this as an instance of an originally acquired peculiarity having become 
hereditary. Zool. Gart. 1872, p. 86i
