Notes
Content: Printed on border: "Chinchilla, a little animal of the family chinchillidoe and order rodentia." "The posterior limbs are nearly twice as long as the anterior. The tail, produced, has long and bristly hairs about the tip and on the upper side. Anterior feet five-toed; posterior feet four-toed, the nails small and subfalcular; the tail rather long. This is the well known fur-bearing chinchilla, the skins of which are so much used in the winter dress of ladies." Includes additional text.
