DESCRIPTION.—Head somewhat arched, and rather short; ears small; tail
about equal in length to the head and body, measured in a straight
line; tarsi large. Fur long, and rather soft; general colour deep
golden yellow: on the upper surface of the head and the back, long
glossy black hairs are thickly interspersed, and produce, with the
admixture of the deep golden colour of the ordinary fur, a dark
brown tint; chin, throat, chest, and rump, white; the hairs
covering the upper surface of the feet are of a dirty yellowish
white colour, and on the toes nearly white: ears densely clothed
with longish hairs, those on the inner side chiefly of a deep
golden colour, and those on the outer side brownish; the ears are
partially hidden by the long fur of the head; tail sparingly
clothed with hairs, above brown, and beneath brownish-white: the
fur of the back is of a deep gray colour at the base, annulated
with deep golden yellow near the apex, and blackish at the apex;
the longer hairs are black; the hairs of the belly are pale gray
at the base, and broadly tipped with golden yellow colour; the
white hairs on the throat, chest, and rump are of an uniform
colour—not tinted with gray at the root;—the hairs of the
moustaches are black: the incisors of the upper jaw are of a deep
orange colour, and those of the lower jaw are yellow: the thumb
nail is truncated.
