 The list of Lemurs in the previous volume of this work is here 

 considerably enlarged and fourteen species are enumerated, only 

 six of vkfhich are valid, viz., L. catta ; L. ruber = L. v. ruber: 

 L. rubriventer ; L. rufus ; L. albifrons ; L. rufifrons : and 

 L. CORONATUS. The others are, L. macaco, (nee Linn.), = L. 

 VARIEGATUS ; L. ftavivcnter = L. rubriventer ; L. collaris = 

 L. fulvus; L. brunneus = L. fulvus; L. mongos (nee Linn.), 

 = L. fulvus ; L. anjuanensis = L. mongos Linn. ; and L. chry- 

 sampyx = L. coronatus.

 In an elaborate paper on the "Lemuroid Animals" Lemur is 

 divided into a number of genera which cannot be considered as 

 having any claim to a distinct rank. Under Varecia are placed 

 L. variegatus as V. varia; L. niger = L. macaco; L. ruber = 

 L. V. ruber; and L. leucomystax = L. macaco. In Lemur is 

 L. catta. Prosimia has L. albifrons; L. nigrifrons; L. 

 melanocephalus = L. fulvus; L. mongos (nee Linn.), — L. 

 FULVUS ; L. rufifrons ; L. xanthomystax — L. fulvus ; L. 

 coronata; L. albimana = L. mongos; L. anjuanensis (nee 

 Geoff.), = L. nigrifrons; and L. collaris = L. fulvus.

An important paper on the crania and dentition of the Le- 

 uuRiDJE embracing all the genera, with the species of some as 

 then understood, and with definitions of genera and subgenera. 

 Of the genus Lemur a careful specialized description is given of 

 the skull and teeth, and comparisons made with other genera of 

 the Family. The synonymy and description of the genus are given, 

 but a list of the species is omitted. Lemur is placed in the sub- 

 family LEMURIN.E, followed by Myoxicebus (Hapaloletnur), 

 MiCROCEBUS, Cheirogaleus (!), and Lepilemur (!). The 

 conclusion of his investigation may be summed up in his own
