/. GALAGO. 



8:3 



The one from Fcniaiulo Po is larger, and the upper cutting-teeth 

 form an arched series, and the grinders are very large and broad. 

 The one from the Gaboon is rather smaller in size, the upper cutting- 

 teeth are in nearly the same straight transverse line, and the grinders 

 arc scarcely three-fourths of the general width of those of the other 

 skull : both skulls seem to have their perfect and permanent teeth. 

 Probably this may arise from the sex of the specimen ; but the sexes 

 are not marked, and there is no external character to distinguish 

 them. Tn a third and younger specimen the uppor cutting-teeth 

 arc subequal, and placed one above the other ; so that this seems to 

 be the normal position of the teeth.
