336 MR. G. R. WATERHOUSE ON THE GENUS GALEOPITHECUS. 
those already published, nor can I adopt either of them without running the risk of pro- 
ducing further confusion, since I cannot ascertain to what animals they refer. In 
Fischer’s ‘ Synopsis Mammalium,’ it is stated that the two species distinguished by M. 
Temminck bear the names variegatus and marmoratus, both of which names will apply 
equally well to either of the species’. For these reasons I shall describe the species I 
am acquainted with under new specific names, one in honour of the author of the ‘ Mo- 
nographies de Mammalogie,’ and the other to commemorate the locality in which it is 
found’. 
Sp. l. Galeopithecus Temminckit. 
General colour of upper parts usually deep grey or blackish, variegated with white, 
and of the under parts pale greyish fulvous ; the fore and hind-feet are blackish above, 
spotted with white. The flank membrane is sometimes sooty black above, and varie- 
gated with white near its junction with the body and thighs ; or it is of a greyish colour, 
with narrow undulating black lines. On the back there is sometimes either a yellowish 
or a brown hue, and the under parts occasionally incline to rust-colour. Adult speci- 
mens vary from about twenty-two to thirty inches in length, measuring from the tip of 
the nose to the end of the tail. The length of the ear is 63 lines. The principal di- 
mensions from a skeleton of this species are as follows :

The skull of G. Temminckii approaches somewhat to an oval form: its greatest width 
is towards the posterior part of the lower boundary of the orbit, and supposing the whole 
length of the cranium to be 46, the diameter at this partis 32. A little in front of the or- 
bits the skull is suddenly contracted, and from this part to the apex it gradually decreases 
in width. The length of the portion anterior to the orbits is to that behind this part as 
19 to 27, and the width of the hinder portion of the cranium (behind the auditory ca- 
nal) is to the length as 21 to 46. ‘The nasal bones extend backwards rather beyond 
! The former of these, the G. variegatus, is said to be from Java and the islands of the Indian Archipelago, 
and the latter from Sumatra and Borneo. 
® In applying the name Philippinensis, it must not be understood that the species is not found elsewhere 
than in the Philippine Islands, but that the specimens upon which I found my descriptions are from that locality : 
in this sense the name of a locality applied to a species is useful.
