In his tribe Galagonina the Author arranges the species of 

 Galago in two genera, Otogale, and Galago. In the first are 

 placed garnetti ; crass icaud.\ta ; monteiri and pallida ; and 

 in the second are included alleni; moholi = senegalensis ; 

 senegalensis ; sennaariensis and demidoffi. The four 

 species of the Otogale group are recognized as valid at the 

 present time, but of those given under Galago, moholi is 

 a synonym of senegalensis Geoff., the name sennaariensis is 

 antedated by Lesson in 1840. Three species are mentioned as 

 not seen by the Author, G. conspicillatus = senegalensis Geoff., 

 0. peli Temm., = Hemigalago demidoffi Fischer, juv. and 

 0. senegalensis Peters, = G. s. mossambicus Peters. 



1876. Schlegel, Museum d'Histoire Naturelle des Pays-Bas, Simice. 



Five species are included in the genus Galago, viz. : G. cras- 

 sicaudatus ; G. GARNETTI ; G. ALLENI ; G. senegalensis ; and 

 H. DEMIDOFFI. G. monteiri is considered to be merely a pale 

 variety of G. crassicaudatus ; the range of G. senegalensis is 

 given from Senegambia and Sennaar to Cafraria, the form 

 from Sennaar not being recognized as distinct.
