_ The converging, slender, shelving lower cutting-teeth, the slender 

 limbs, and short tail show an affinity with Indris (in Lemuridce). 



M. I. Geoffrey describes the tail oi Bruvhyurus calvus and B. ruhi- 

 cundus as very short, bushy, about a centimetre long. There are four 

 specimens in the British Museum which agree with the description of 

 B. calvKs ; but three of them have the tail about the same length and 

 form as in 0. melanocephala — that is, about one-third the length of 

 the body ; and that of the other is short ; but then it appears to have 

 been cut or broken off. The vertebra of the tail of the small white 

 specimen is 6 inches long, so that the length of the tail in the 

 stuffed specimen does not depend on the stuffing.
