The hind foot, so far as the digital pads are concerned,agrees, broadly speaking, with the fore foot. The wholefoot is actually longer and narrower than the fore foot; andthe plantar pad is partially divided in two by a deep angulardepression, covered with hair, which penetrates it on theinner or hallucal side. The part of the pad behind thishairy depression does not extend nearly to the tip of theheel, the extent of the heel which is covered with hair being FJor. A.

In the fore foot of Danis horribilis (fig. 2, A) the digitalpads are tightly tied together by naked integument extendingapproximately to the middle of their length, the integument * At least in the Ontario specimens. Tn my figure of the hind foot of the Newfoundland specimen the heel appears to be much shorter; but the approximate equality in length between this foot and the fore of the same specimen convinces me that the precise length of the heel was disregarded in the illustration.
