It is an animal about the size of a cat; different individuals or races varying considerably in size, so that while some specimens do not measure more than 13 inches in total length, others may reach as much as 15 inches, or even more.  Its proportions are thick and clumsy; the head being broad and flat, with a slightly projecting and pointed muzzle."  Written on border: "Bradicebus, syn.  Nycticelaus tardigradis" Includes additional text.
