Hubrecht, A. A. W. A New Mammal from Sumatra. Nature, xliv, 
p. 468, and Notes Leyd. Mus. xiii, pp. 241 & 242. 
Describes a Mammal from Sumatra, of which the only known specimen 
is lost, as Trichomanis hceveni. It is said to be more closely allied to 
certain representatives of the Edentata than to any other order, and is 
described as follows : “ Animal of the size of a very large Cat. Fur grey, 
with a black longitudinal band along the middle of the back. Snout 
elongated, and more or less conical, with a small mouth at the extremity. 
A long cylindrical tongue, which is thrust out, serves the animal in the 
collection of ants, which are its natural food. A more or less bushy tail. 
Ears not conspicuous. Legs higher than those of Munis ; strong claws to 
the feet.”
