having the muzzle anil tarsi rather more elongated, and the 
ears less densely clothed with fur : the hairs of the hack do not 
so distinctly radiate from a point, rather behind the shoulders, 
as in D. ursinus ; over the shoulders, however, the points of 
the hairs are directed outwards, and on the hack part of the 
neck they are directed forwards, but are semi-erect, and those 
of the head ore directed backwards. The fur is rather less 
harsh than in D. ursinus; its general hue is deepish brown 
on the upper parts of the body, but here each hair is brown 
at the base, shaded into brownish black externally, whilst at 
* * 
the point they are of a very pole brown colour, inclining to 
white ; on the under parts of the body the exposed portions of 
the hairs are white, or very nearly so, but in the middle they ore 
of a very pale brown colour, and at the base still paler, and 
nearly white in some parts. The sides of the head are of a 
pale brown colour, and the upper surface is dusky brown. The 
muzzle is clothed with verv short hairs. The ears are tolerably 
+ • 
well clothed with longish hairs, brown on the inner side, and 
dusky on the outer: the fore arms and hind legs are brownish 
white, but the hairs on these parts are brown at the root : the 
binder part of the haunches is whitish, and so is the tail 
beneath at the base ; this member is well clothed with longish, 
harsh hairs, partly brown-white, and partly pale brown ; its 
general hue is paler than that of the body. The fore and 
hind feet are dusky brown, hut pencilled with whitish on the 
hinder parts. — From the Paris Museum.
