EAST AFRICAN MAMMALS IN NATIONAL MUSEUM. 13 
calling in the bush every night. He describes the call as a sharp 
and crow-like ka’-ka-ka, with terrific emphasis on the first syllable. 
At Ndi one came into the trees near his camp and woke him by its 
loud crying. In one place he compares the notes to those of the tree 
hyrax but as less loud and varied. The specimens were secured by 
“shining” the animals with a lamp at night, when it was compara- 
tively easy to shoot them. 
Heller examined the type of this species in Berlin and made the 
following manuscript notes, which are on file in the National Museum: 
The type of Galago lasiolis Peters is a young specimen in alcohol; No. 5107 Berlin 
Mus.; labeled Mombasa; Hildebrandt coll. Size and appearance of the smaller lemur, 
but it is the young of the larger species, as the skull, which has been removed, is very 
immature, with molars just erupting. Tail with terminal three-fourths whitish, 
body drab, feet brown; ears very hairy. Exact locality uncertain, probably came 
from mainland near Mombasa.

Specimens.—Three from the following localities: 
Britiso East Arrica: Taveta, 2 (Abbott). 
GERMAN East Arrica: Aruscha Wa-cini, 1 (Abbott). 
As noted by Dr. F. W. True in his report on the Abbott Kili- 
manjaro collection,! there is great variation in color among these 
specimens, although they apparently do not represent more than one 
named form. One of the males from Taveta is of a general grayish 
buff coloration and has a buffy white tail tip; the other is heavily 
washed with rufous, especially on the limbs and tail, and has a dark 
brown tail tip. The specimen from Aruscha Wa-cini, a female, is in 
general appearance very much like the gray male from Taveta but 
has a dark brown tail tip like the reddish skin from that place and 
the hands and feet are considerably darker in color. The form is 
not very well distinguished from Galago lasiotis lasiotis, in so far as 
our material shows, and better series would be needed to diagnose 
properly the two subspecies. The degree of nakedness of the ears is 
in a great measure dependent on condition of pelage and varies from 
skin to skin. 
Following are Heller’s manuscript notes on the type of this form 
taken at the Berlin Museum: 
Otolemur panganiensis Matchie. Type No. 3402; Aruscha; von der Decken. Skin 
mounted, dirty or somewhat faded; color brownish yellow, tip of tail blackish. Skull 
with floor of brain case torn away but one condyle still left. Lerigth of skull, 60.5; 
zygomatic width, 45.0; upper tooth row, 27.2; postorbital constriction, 20.2; length 
of mandible, 48.0; palatal width at m?, 14.8; length of nasals, 20.2.
