Page 76. HAPALEMUR. 

 This genus can be divided into two sections : 



I. Nose tapering, narrow in front; shill ,iose tapering, narrow in front ■ 



palate dilated behind ; series of grinders convert/ing in front Lower 

 jaiv broad and strong in front, with a long sijmphy'sis. JFIapalemur. 



Hapalemur griseus. 



Ilapalemurgriseus^ *'./«<«•, P. Z. S. 18G3, p. 161; Mivart, P. Z. S. 

 i»b4, p. bl.3, fig. skull (copied, Cat. Monkeijs 8rc. B.M. p. 77). 



II. iVbw broad and truncated; skull, nose very broad, square, truncated in 

 front; palate scarceb, wider behind; series of grinders wide apart 

 and nearly parallel. Lower jaw iveak, and narrow in front, zvith a 

 short symphysis. Pholejiub. 



Hapalemur simus. B.M. 



Back iron-grey, with a rufous tinge; the hairs black, with a 

 subapical rufous band, and the lower part lead-coloured ; throat 

 whitish ; patch on nimp at base of tail yellomsh. 



Ilapalemm- gTiseus, Schlcyel ^- Pollen, Fauna Madagasc. p. 6 t 3 & 

 t. 7. fig. 4 (skull without upper cutting-teeth). ' 



Hah. Madagascar. 



This may be Hapalemur olivacea ; but that species is very imper- 

 fectly described, and it is said to have a different form of the hinder 

 part of the lower jaw ; but what the difference is is not mentioned 

 and I do not see any difference in the hinder part of the lower iaws 

 of the two species. The front of the jaw in //. ,iriseus is very much 

 more slender and weak than in H. .simus. 



The colour of the fur is exactly similar to that of //. ip-isrus- only 

 there is a pale spot on the rump at the base of the tail, which may 

 be accidental, or caused by the manner in which it was confined in 

 its cage. 



Pago 78. 2. Cheii-ogaleus typicus. 



Skull :— Brain-case ovate, elongate, rather depressed : nose rather 

 elongate, conical ; orbits large ; palate rather broad in front, much 

 broader behind ; upper cutting-teeth 2 . 2, in an arched series 

 compressed, erect ; inner thicker, and quite as lonsr as the outer 

 ones, converging towards the central line. Tail of animd cylindrical 

 covered with soft woolly hair. 



Skull in shape like Lej^ilemur Coquerelii and L. furdfer ; but the 

 latter differs in the very large size and the projecting central upner 

 cutting-teeth. <> <^ rr
