GAL AGO 63 



Galago kikuyuensis Lonnberg. 



Galago (Otolemur) kikyuensis Lonnb., Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., IX, 

 8th Ser., 1912, p. 64. 



Type locality. Escarpment Station, British East Africa. 



Color. "General colour pale greyish brown, somewhat darker on 

 head and upper neck, outside of limbs more chamois ; throat and lower 

 side of neck with an ochre-yellow tinge ; under side of body dirty white ; 

 hands and feet dark brown, inclining to blackish ; tail dark brown, 

 gradually darkening to blackish towards the distal third, paler below. 

 Ears naked." 



Measurements. "Total length about 62 cm. ; tail about equal to 

 head and body. Skull : greatest length, 61 ; basicranial length, 49 ; 

 zygomatic breadth, 41 ; palatal lengfth, 23 ; length of upper molar series, 

 19.5." 



I have not seen a specimen of this animal, and as Herr Lonnberg 

 makes no reference to any species with which it may be compared, it 

 is difficult to assign it to its proper place in the genus. In size it seems 

 to be nearest to G. hindsi Elliot, from Katwi, Athi River, British East 

 Africa, and in color appears to differ mainly in the underparts being 

 "dirty white" instead of white, "tail dark brown, gradually darkening 

 to blackish towards the distal third, paler below," instead of tail above 

 pale wood brown, beneath whitish. It may be remarked that the type 

 localities of these two Bush-Babys are not far apart. 



Without a careful comparison, it is impossible to state what claims 

 this animal has to a distinct specific rank. As it is impossible to de- 

 termine this at present, it is here given the benefit of any doubt that 

 may arise. 



I Subgenus 2. Otolicnus. 



Size small ; muzzle short ; last upper molar may be tricuspidate or 

 quadricuspidate, but the last lower molar is always quinquicuspidate. 

 Angle of mandible produced backwards and slightly downward.
