7. GALAGO. 



85 



The upper front cutting-teeth are very slender, longer and more 

 produced, the upper grinders aro broader and squarcr, and the 

 hinder one is more triangular than in G. maholi. 



There are three specimens of this species in the Museum, unfor- 

 tunately not in a good condition ; hut they all decidedly differ from 

 G. maholi, especially in the length of the toes, and in the fingers 

 and toes being more slender. These three species arc very similar, 

 but I think they may easily bo distinguished by the length and 

 colour of the tail. G. maholi and G. senegalensis havo the tail 

 not more than one-fifth as long again as the body and head. In G. 

 maholi the tail is rather dark, but grey ; in G. senegalensis it is much 

 darker, being blackish brown. In G. sennariensis the tail is much 

 longer than the body and head, and black. There seems also to be 

 some difference, although difficidt to describe, in the proportion of 

 the cars and the head.
