Tail about half as long as head and body or slightly more, its anuulatious ill defined and completely concealed by the dense covering of hair; pencil well developed, usually about one-sixth as long as vertebne. Mammaj: p2 — 2, i 2 — 2 = 8. C'o/o«r.—Upper parts brown with a decided reddish or ochraceous suffusion, especially along back; sides and rump usually lighter than back, often with a tinge of grey, but never forming a decided contrast as in Evotomj/s rufocanus; under- parts light grey with or without a yellowish brown wash; feet greyish ; tail obscurely bicolor. SJiull.—The skull of Evotonij/s glareolm is small and lightly built, the surface smooth and rounded, without noticeable ridges or depressions for muscular attachment. Dorsal profile in general slightly convex throughout, though flattened or even a little con- cave in interorbital region, the nasals sloping I'ather abruptly forward, their surface nearly flat; there is usually no sharp distinction between dorsal and posterior outlines, the profile merely bending abruptly downward jiosteriorly over somewhat obliquely truncate occipital region; ventral protile shallow-concave anteriorly, then essentially straight to lower surface of bulla; depth of skull considerably greater posteriorly than anteriorly, so that the general outline formed by the two profiles is distinctly wedge- shaped. Brain-case sub-circular or very broadly oval in outline when viewed from above, sometimes a little squared at sides or in front; the surface smooth except for the small but evident postorbital processes, a distinct trace of the lambdoid crest extending downward from outer extremity of interparietal to meatus, and a shorter but more noticeable vertical ridge along upper part of suture betw^een occipi
