General Characters.— Size large; tail as long as head and body, not tufted. Dark hairs prevailing dorsally; backs of hands and feet buff. Upper incisors grooved; pterygoids slightly expanded proximally, their bases extending forward anterior to the posterior median edge of the palate. Description.— Top of head from nose to crown, nape, back, and dorsal surface of the tail a mixture of black and ochraceous buff, the former predominating. The individual hairs are slaty for the basal two thirds, then either black-tipped or with a subapical ring of ochra- ceous buff and a black tip; on the sides of the muzzle, cheeks, sides of body, forearms, and hind legs the black-tipped hairs become largely suppressed giving a nearly clear ochraceous buff (Ridgway, 1886) tone to these parts. Metacarpal and metatarsal areas clear buff, toes white. The ears are clothed with minute blackish hairs externally, and sparsely covered internally with short pale buff hairs. The entire ventral surface of the head and body (including the upper lips) and the limbs are covered with hairs white to their bases. The tail is sharply marked off by its ochraceous buff color on its basal half be- low; the rest of the under surface is darkened with short black hairs which predominate towards the tip. The terminal hairs are slightly the longest but do not form a tuft. Skull.— The skull is that of a mature animal but the teeth are only slightly worn. In this condition the middle lamina of the first upper molar shows a slight central contraction mark- ing off an inner and an outer portion. The upper incisors show a well-marked groove nearer the outer side, thus differ- ing from the liodon group which this species equals in size. Anterior palatal foramina 3 mm. long, reaching from the level of the center of the first molar to the back of the second. Posterior pala- tal foram
