Azema Smithii, p. 132. 



Skull: — brain-case globular ; nose conical; orbits very large; pa- 

 late very contracted in front, much vrider behind ; upper cutting- 

 teeth 2 . 2, in an arched series, nearly equal in height and size, 

 erect. 



SkuU in shape very like Lepilemur mm-hius, but differs in the 

 inner upper cutting-teeth being scarcely larger and very slightly 

 bent, tending toward the central line ; and the tails of both animals 

 are slender and covered with short hairs.

Page 86. LEPILEMUR. 

 Erase the character of this genus as not being the genus so 

 named by I. Geoifroy. The species are referred to other genera as 

 follows : — 



8. LEPILEMUR. 

 Head round ; nose rather short, broad ; ears moderate, hair at 

 the base external. _Fur soft, woolly, with an obscure dorsal streak 

 forked on the forehead, uniform. Nose broad. Tail slender, with 

 short hairs (like those on the back) at the base ; rather thicker and 

 with long hairs at the end. Thigh elongate. Hind feet short. Skull: — 

 Nose broad, truncated in front. Palate broad, broad in front, scarcely 

 wider behind. Intermaxillary bone very narrow, with a sharp front 

 edge. Upper cutting-teeth none ; lower 6, projecting. The front 

 upper false grinder slightly higher than the second, with a slight 

 lobe at the base of its front edge. 



Lepilemur, /. Geoffroy, not Gray, Cat. p. 86. 



The absence of cutting- teeth is the peculiar characteristic of this 

 genus, and not an unusual peculiarity as I thought it might be (Cat. 

 p. 88). There are several specimens in the r)ritish Museum con- 

 firming this peculiarity.
