Lower Back Flanks Upper Back Belly Nape Breast Crown Neck Cheeks Chin SKULL Remarks Soft Parts as previous except nose lips & pads are a much pinker. In colouration it is quite different to the previous specimen but I believe it to be the same species. Lack of a smattering of a knowledge of mammals is a handicap too to collecting, so in case it is different it is being put into spirit as if it were the first specimen collected of a new sub-sp.
