DESCRIPTION. 
The upper surface is brownish-grey ; the hairs at the roots olive-grey, 
at the tip yellowish and blackish, whence the animal appears speckled with 
blackish and fulvous, or is somewhat striped. 
The sides of the head, the region round the eyes, and upper margin of 
the ears, are of a more dull reddish-yellow. The under surface is pure 
white, which is separated from the colour of the back by a yellowish-red, 
or rust-red stripe extending from the nose along the whole side to the 
hind-legs, and down to the heel. The nose and lips appear flesh coloured 
through the whitish hair ; the same is the case with the legs below the 
tibiae. The tail is reddish-grey ; more greyish above, and more whitish 
beneath.
