 large, conical, erect, like a small canine, and in the lower jaw also

M. Isidore Geoffrey, in his account of the genus Hapahmur, 

 states that in Cheirogaleus " the cutting-teeth are in straight cross 

 lines, and the ears are membranaceous." If this is correct, the species 

 here described arc not CJieirof/aJei.
