GALAGO 69 



M7. KILIMANJARO GALAGO. 



Type locality. Mount Kilimanjaro, German East Africa. Type 

 in British Museum. 



Gcid. Char. Similar to G. gallarum, but darker gray above, and 

 the bright buff of the limbs ends abruptly on meeting the gray color, 

 and does not grade into it, as in the allied species. 



Color. Head and neck buff, hairs tipped with black, giving these 

 parts a grizzled appearance ; rest of upper parts iron gray ; orbital 

 ring black ; stripe between eyes, nose, upper lip, cheek and chin, gray ; 

 upper side of arms and legs, bright buff ; hands and feet, yellowish 

 gray; under parts, and inner side of thighs, yellowish white; tail, 

 Prout's brown, hairs tipped with white; ear large, naked, black. Ex 

 type British Museum. 



Measurements. Total length about 480; tail, 300. Skull: occip- 

 ito-nasal length, 45; Hensel, 32; zygomatic width, 29; intertemporal 

 width, 19; palatal length, 15 ; width of braincase, 24; median length of 

 nasals, 12; length of upper molar series, 13; length of mandible, 26; 

 length of lower molar series, 13. Ex type British Museum. 



This rather handsome species was obtained by Mr. A. B. Percival 

 on Mount Kilimanjaro, East Africa. While allied to G. gallarum 

 Thomas, it is easily distinguished from the type of that species by its 

 dark gray color, and the abruptness with which the buff and gray of 

 the legs come together. As is to be expected of an animal living upon 

 a high mountain the fur is thick and long. There are no appreciable 

 differences in the skulls of the two species.
