short hairs ;ui' al)undanL; those of trochanter ami lemur are slightly elavale in 

 contrast to the slightly obtuse or almost simple ones of the tibia and the hand, 

 and the completely simple and pointed ones of the fingers. These bear in addition 

 to the usual hairs a number of tactile hairs and a few sense-spots; the immovable 

 linger bears anteriorly two basal and two more median, while it posteriorly bears 

 at least four more longitudinally placed; the movable finger bears posteriorly four. 

 The trochanter, which has a long distinct stalk, is 1-9 longer than broad and 

 almost as broad as the femur; its anterior margin is beyond stalk very gradually 

 and modetately convex; the convexity of the posterior margin is even less marked, 

 but more abruptly beyond stalk: the dorsal surface is posteriorly produced into a 

 rounded prominent tubercle. The femur, which has a short and well marked stalk, 

 is 3 times as long as broad, a little longer, but distinctly narrower than the tibia; 

 the anterior surface has just beyond the shallow notch of the stalk a short, rather 

 indistinct convexity or elevation, blending into the almost straight outline of the 

 proper joint, which has a low incision just before tip; the posterior margin is 

 beyond stalk rather abruptly convex and then moderately so to the apex. The 

 tibia, which is about 45 longer than the rather long and well marked stalk, is 

 about 25 longer than broad; the outline is anteriorly beyond rather elongate notch 

 of stalk distinctly convex; the moderately big condylus posteriorly is followed by 

 a very low and indistinct basal elevation, posteriorly merging into the outline of 

 the joint proper, which is first straight and then in the terminal third distinctly 

 convex. The hartd, which is of almost equal length to the tibia, but 1'3 times 

 broader, is distinctly narrower than the trochantin is long, a little broader than 

 deep, 19 times longer than it is broad and 1-3 times longer than the fingers, 

 which gape a trifle when closed and bear pointed marginal teeth; its lateral out- 

 lines are just beyond stalk rather abruptly convex and then moderately so. 



Coxae. — The fourth pair is of a slender and triangular appearance, as the 

 posterio-interior corner is rounded and very slightly marked; it is at least twice 

 as long as broad and its posterior almost straight margin is more than twice as 

 long as the interior one. 



Legs (PI. Ill, figs. 7 f-g; figs. 5 a-b, p. 37). — The femurs are more or less 

 granular; the hairs are rather short or long and slender, and at least the dorsal 

 hairs of the proximal joints are obtuse or even elavale (fig. 7f); the trochanter 

 and the trochantin of the fourth pair of legs bear a long, slender and simple hair, 

 and the dorsal ''tactile" hair of the same pair is j)laced a little nearer to the tip 

 than to the base, being longer than the former of these distances, and of almost 

 equal length to the latter (fig. 7 g). The terminal lateral hair is simple and 

 slightly curved. The articulation between the trochantin and the femur of the first 

 pair of legs is only slightly developed, and the articulate tooth of the posterior 

 side is placed more dorsally than that of the anterior (cf. p. 37; figs. 5 a-b); the 

 trochantin is a little deeper than the femur proper; the femur of the fourth pair
