 a small species from the coast of Guinea, OtoUcnus Peli Temm. {Esqumes 

 Zool. p. 45), nothing was found in the stomach but remains of insects. On 

 the anatomy of this little Galago compare the Academical Essay of Dr

 is found at Celebes, Borneo, Banca, &c. and also at the Philippine Islands. 

 The various species which have been proposed for adoption are not suffi-
