84 HEMIGALAGO 



There is an error here as the head and tail are made to measure 

 separately, nearly twice the total length. 



I examined the type in the Berlin Museum. It is a baby and 

 presents no characters to separate it from H. demidoffi. 



Bates (1. c.) states that the "little ojam is similarly found asleep, 

 three or four huddled together in old nests of the squirrel osen. Some 

 people have told me that the little Lemurs make their own nests, but 

 it seems more likely that these are only old squirrel's nests. An ojam 

 that I kept alive once for several days made a chirping noise at night, 

 as shrill as that of a cricket. In grasping anything with its hind hand, 

 the clawed finger was always folded in the palm, under and not over 

 the thing it grasped."
