also exists, less distinctly, in a longitudinal band along 
the lowest part of the abdomen. The tail is nearly 
half the length of the body, and is somewhat bushy, 
and terminated with long bristly hairs. 
THE FERRUGINOUS GLUTTON. 
Gulo Castaneu's. 
In Mr. Bullock’s late curious collection was a 
hitherto undescribed species, belonging to this sub- 
division of the plantigrades. It measured very nearly 
four feet, from the nose to the end of the tail, which 
was two thirds the length of the body. It was long, 
and vermiformed, like the weasels ; but the limbs 
were extremely robust. The head was broad and 
depressed; the eyes were very near the nostrils; 
the ears were far back, and the whole appearance of 
the animal strongly indicated a predacious and savage 
disposition. The fur was long and rough, of a dark 
brown and chestnut colour, mixed ; the tail was 
nearly black, and the feet sepia. The habits, as well 
as manners of this animal, were entirely unknown.
