and on back of the ears at the base, the back of the neck, 
the shoulders, the cheeks, and above the eye, a slight rusty 
hue prevails ; the under parts of the body are grey-white, the 
lmirs on these parts being grey, tipped with white. The top 
of the muzzle is blackish, and so are the ears externally, ex¬ 
cepting at the base, the hands and wrists, and the fore half of 
the tarsus; internally, the ears are clothed with white hairs, 
but the apex is always more or less broadly margined with 
black: the chin is blackish; the upper and lower lips are 
margined with white, and there is a somewhat undefined 
whitish cheek-mark. The tail is clothed at the root with fur 
like that of the body, but beyond, the hairs are harsher and 
shorter, and the general colour is hoary grey, excepting on 
about five or six inches of die apical portion, where they are 
black ; the under side of die tail is clothed with harsh, dirty 
white hairs, excepting at the apex, where they are chiefly 
black. On die posterior half of the tarsi, the hairs are hoary 
grey.
