LEMUHID^. 



is too short — haTing about the same proportion, compared with the 

 shank-bono, as in LepUemur ; therefore I have only referred it to this 

 species \xi{\\ doubt. In Brown's figures the long claw is represented 

 as being on the groat toe, instead of the first toe. 



The fine male specimen which served as the type of Sir Andrew 

 Smith's figure has the orbits of the same colour as the rest of the 

 face ; in two other rather smaller specimens in the Museum the orbits 

 are darker, in one nearly black. 



There are two skulls of tliis species in the Museum Collection 

 both from South Africa. They vary very slightly in the size of the 

 teeth, especially in the breadth or squareness of the grinders. The 

 upper cutting-teeth are cylindrical, elongate, of the same size, and 

 placed in a nearly straight cross line ; the first upper false grinder 

 is broad and lobed, like the second one.
