Much better series of specimens of these bush babies must be 
available for study before the ranges and characters of the forms can 
be worked out satisfactorily. This is especially true of the larger 
species, lasiotis and kikuyuensis, members of the subgenus Otolemur, 
in which the variation in the color of the tail and the relative length 
of tail and body have been used to distinguish forms which often 
exhibit great individual variation in these respects. There is no 
specimen in our collection which might be assumed to represent 
Galago hindei Elliot,' described from Kitui, British Kast Africa. 
The smaller forms, members of the subgenus Galago, including 
braccatus and its allies and the coast species cocos, are much more 
sharply marked; and there is very little individual variation among 
skins from a single locality. The forms of these smaller bush babies 
appear to be very local in distribution.

GALAGO KIKUYUENSIS Lénnberg. 
1912. Galago (Otolemur) kikwyuensis LONNBERG, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., ser: 8, 
vol. 9, p. 64. January. (Escarpment Station, British East Africa; 
type in R. Nat. Hist. Mus., Stockholm.) 
Specimens.—Two, as follows: 
British East Arrica: Ngongo Bagas (Klein). 
These two specimens are dark and richly colored. Both have very 
dark brownish black tail tips. 
GALAGO LASIOTIS LASIOTIS Peters. 
1877. Galago lasiotis Peters, Mon.-ber K. Preuss. Akad. Wiss. Berlin, 1876, 
p- 912. (Mombasa, British East Africa; type in Berlin Museum.) 
1910. Galago (Otelemur) lasiotis Roosrvett, African Game Trails, Amer. ed., 
p- 474; London ed., p. 486.2 
Specumens.—Seven, from localities as follows: 
British East Arrica: Changamwe, | (Mearns); Maji-ya-chumvi, 
1 (Heller); Mazeras, 2 (Heller); Mount Mbololo, 1 (Heller); Ndi, 2 
(Heller). 
There is great variation in the color of the tip of the tail in this 
form. One female from Mount Mbololo has the end of the tail for 
30 millimeters almost clear white; one male from Ndi has a broad 
terminal area of blackish without any indication of white hairs; and 
other skins are intermediate between these extreme types of colora- 
tion. There is also much variation in the amount of rufous on the | 
arms and legs. 
At Ndi, Mount Mbololo, and Maji-ya-chumyvi, Heller noted in his 
journal that these lemurs were very noisy, and many were heard
