Obs. The circumstance of this and the List described having only two 

 incisors in the upper jaw, seems to warrant their being separated from 

 the true Galagos. When they shall be more accurately examined, other 

 discrepancies will probably be discovered, which will furnish ample 

 means for a description of the generic characters.
