Azema Smithii, p. 132. 



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

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

 teeth 2 . 2, in an arcliod series, noarly equal in height and size, 

 erect. 



Skull in shape very like Lepilenmr murinus, 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 80. LEPILEMUR. 



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

 named by I. Gooffroy. Tho species aro referred to other genera as 

 follows : — 



8. LEPILEMUR. 



Hoad round ; noso rather short, broad ; oars moderate, hair at 

 the base external. Fur soft, woolly, with an obscuro 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 0, projecting. The front 

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

 lobo at the base of its front edge. 



Lepilenmr, I. Geoffroy, not Gray, Cat. p. 80. 



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 aro several specimens in the British Museum con- 

 firming this peculiarity.
