GAL AGO 47 



G. SENEGALENsis a synonym. The fact is Schreber never de- 

 scribed a species by the name galago, and therefore the position 

 is exactly reversed, galago Schreber being non-existent, senegal- 

 ensis Wagner becomes a synonym of Geoffroy's species. Two 

 other species are given for the genus, O. crassic.\udatus and 



O. ALLENI. 



1840. Lesson, Species des Mammifbres Bimanes et Quadrumanes. 



Two species and three varieties are given in this List. G. cras- 



siCAUDATUS E. Geoff., G. acaciarum = G. senegalensis 



Fischer ; G. acaciarum var. A. alleni = G. alleni Waterh. ; G. 



acaciarum var. B. senegalensis = G. senegalensis Fischer ; G.

Galago sennaariensis Less., is here renamed G. (Otolicnus) 



teng. 

 1844. Van der Ho even, in Tijdschrift voor Natuurlijke Geschiedenis 



en Physiologic. 



Under Otolicnus, here employed as a genus, five species are 



given : 0. galago = G. senegalensis ; 0. alleni = G. alleni ; O. 



crassicaudatus = G. crassicaud.\tus ; O. garnetti = G. gar- 



netti ; and O. madagascariensis = D.\ubentonia madagas- 



cariensis. 



1855. Wagner, Schreber, Saugthiere, Supplement. 



Under Otolicnus six species are here given, viz. : 0. crassicau- 

 datus (GeofTroy) ; 0. garnetti (Ogilby) ; O. galago Schreber, 

 non-existent; O. alleni (Waterhouse) ; O. minor Gray, (a 

 Microcebus) ; and O. demidoffi (Fischer). 

 O. galago Schreb., non-existent, is divided into three sections, 

 but the sections are treated as synonyms. These are 0. teng 

 (Sundevall), with sennaariensis as its synonym; O. sene- 

 galensis (GeoiTroy) ; and O. moholi (Smith), with a new 

 name australis, as its synonym, which is synonymous with G. 

 senegalensis GeoiTroy; 0. minor (Gray), is a Microcebus 

 and synonymous with M. murinus (Miller). 



1856. R. G. Dahlbom, Zoologiska Studier afhandlande Djurrikets 

 Naturliga Familijer. 



Four species are here recognized in the genus Galago: G. 

 crassicaudatus ; G. alleni ; G. senegalensis ; and G. con- 

 spicillatus = G. senegalensis.
