Hah. West Africa : Gaboon. 



There are several specimens of this animal in the Museum Col- 

 lection. The skin of the adult measures about 5 inches long, from 

 the tip of the nose to the base of the tail ; the tail is 1\ inches long ; 

 the hind foot and shin are about 1 inch 8 lines long. There are 

 some smaller specimens in spirits, which appear to be younger, 

 which have the hind foot only from 1 inch 4 lines to 1 inch lines 

 long. 



I am induced to suppose that Mr. Murray's Galago murrmis from 

 Old Calabar is the young of this species, as the hind foot is figured 

 about 1| inch long. 



The skull without a lower jaw, which in the Museum Catalogue 

 of Bones is put under Microcebus myoxinus(j>. 33), evidently belongs to 

 this species.
