A smnll tuft of five or six long white and backwardly-directed, hristle-like 
hairs is placed on the fore-arm, just above and behind the wrist. One or two of 
them are longer than the rest (the longest measures 42 mm.), and resemble the 
face whiskers. 
Ears naked above. Laid forward, they reach nearly to the anterior canthus of 
the eye. 
Palms with five well-marked and faintly-striated pads placed on granular 
elevations. 
Hallux absent. 
Soles comparatively narrow, with three well-marked pads placed on elevations 
at the base of the toes; the pads with fairly well-marked striations. The median 
part of the sole is naked and granulated. Each side has a strongly-marked, close- 
set series of hairs bendiii" over towards the mid line. 
O 
Tail fairly thick, but not incrassatcd. 
Mamnue six. Pouch very slightly developed, with two low lateral folds. 
Skull somewhat strongly built. Muzzle short and broad. Greatest breadth 
of nasals slightly less than once and a half their least breadth. 
Inter-orbital space fairly broad, its edges slightly converging backwards, and 
not forming rudimentary post-orbital processes. 
A median depression is present in the region of the posterior part of the 
nasals and the anterior part of the frontals. Occipital ridges well developed. 
Anterior palatine foramen reaching just beyond the level of the front edge of 
the canines. A pair of large vacuities reaching from the middle of ni^ to the level 
of ni ^; a smaller pair of vacuities behind these. 
Bulhe very large and rounded ; their mastoid portion much inflated.
