Refer to Fig. 2 for species corresponding to numbers. hair ); six species show moderate ratios ( to ), and six other species show ratios between and Large ratios exist in both long- and short-haired species, but nearly all species with the greatest ratios have disproportion- ately long dorsal hair. Length of lateral and dorsal hair increases as a function of head and body length (Fig. 4). However, relative length of dorsal body hair varies considerably. Thirty-five species (63%) have hair less than 7% of the head and body length, and 17 species (31%) have hair between 7 and 14% of the head and body length. Only three Fig. 4.
