_Externals._--Longest facial vibrissae black, brown, or white (often all three colors in same specimen) and extending beyond ear; carpal vibrissae same color as underparts and extending to apical pad of fifth digit; hairiness of foot-soles as shown in figure 19. _Color._--Upper parts, in summer, Vandyke Brown or darker than tone 4 of Burnt Umber of Oberthür and Dauthenay, pl. 304. Sometimes approaching tone 2 of Warm Sepia of Oberthür and Dauthenay, pl. 305. Underparts, in summer, ranging from white through Napthalene Yellow (Peterboro, N. Y.), Pale Orange Yellow (eastern Mass.), near Primuline Yellow (unusual specimen from Leelanau Co., Mich.) to near (_c_) Deep Chrome (no. 19053, U. S. Nat. Mus., Roan Mts., N. C). In winter, all white except tip of tail, or upper parts near (12" 1) Rood's Brown and tone 2 of Raw Umber of Oberthür and Dauthenay, pl. 301, with underparts white or sometimes tinged with yellowish. Tip of tail at all times black. Upper parts of uniform color except for occasional slight darkening of nose. Color of underparts extends distally on posterior sides of forelegs to foot and sometimes over upper sides of toes and on medial sides of hind limbs only to knees. Least width of color of underparts averaging, in a series of twenty-two males, mostly in full winter pelage, from Liberty Hill, Connecticut, 21 (11-40) per cent of greatest width of color of underparts. In eleven females from the same place, corresponding percentages are 20 (14-29). Black tip of tail in same series of males, most of which are in full winter pelage, 70 (60-75) mm. long; thus longer than hind foot and averaging 50 per cent of length of tail-vertebrae.
