LEMU11IDJE. 



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

 shank-bone, as in Lepilemur ; therefore- 1 have only referred it to this 

 species with doubt. In Brown's figures the long claw is represented 

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



Tho fine male specimen which served as the typo of Sir Andrew 

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

 faco ; in two other rather smaller specimens in the Museum tho orbits 

 are darker, in one nearly black. 



There are two skulls of this 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 tho grinders. The 

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

 placed in a nearly straight cross lino ; tho first upper false grinder 

 is broad and lobed, like the second one.
