MR. G. R. WATERHOUSE ON THE GENUS GALEOPITHECUS. 341 
width of the penultimate molar 3 lines. The anterior incisor is smaller, whereas the 
posterior incisor is much larger and stronger ; its vertical extent is considerably greater : 
viewed laterally this tooth presents the form of an arrow-head ; the anterior and poste- 
rior edges are simple. The same differences are observable in the anterior false molar 
of the upper jaw; this, however, is less acutely pointed than the last. The anterior 
false molar of the lower jaw differs from the corresponding tooth in G. Temminckii, 
in the same manner as does the false molar of the upper jaw, but it is acutely pointed. 
In the present animal the false and true molares of both upper and lower jaws each 
form a continuous series, and are not interrupted by intervening spaces, as in G. Tem- 
minckit. 
Galeopithecus Temminckii is the most common species in collections, and I believe is 
found in many of the islands of the Indian Archipelago. As regards the second species 
(G. Philippinensis) the only specimens which I have examined are those from which the 
foregoing description is drawn up, consisting of two males and two females, all of which 
were sent from the Philippine Islands by Hugh Cuming, Esq. The paper containing 
the dimensions accompanying these specimens is dated ‘‘ Isle of Bohol, August 1837” ; 
I presume therefore the animals were procured in that island. Mr. Cuming states that 
. the eyes are of a nut-brown colour, with black pupils. The principal dimensions, taken 
by Mr. Cuming from the specimens when fresh, are as follows :—
