This and the next genus are referred by Filhol, in the Ann. Sci. 

 Geol. vol. v. art. 4, pp. 1-36 (1874), to a separate group, under the 

 name of " Pachylemuriens." Adapis is referred, however, by Flower 

 to the family Lemuridce and the subfamily Lorisince. It is, however, 

 distinguished from the latter by the presence of an additional pre- 

 molar. The two fossil genera are here provisionally referred to a 

 distinct subfamily. 



Adapis parisiensis, Cuvier l .

 Palceokmur betittei, Delfortrie 3 . 

 Adapis duvernoyi, Gaudry*.

M. 1345. The nearly complete cranium, wanting the premaxillae 

 and nasals, and pm. 1 of either side; from the Upper 

 Eocene of Cay lux (Tarn-et-Garonne), France. 



Purchased, 1884. 



44892. Cast of the cranium. The original is from the Upper 

 Eocene of Beduer (Lot), France; and is described and 

 figured by Delfortrie in the Act. Soc. Linn. Bordeaux, 

 vol. xxix. pt. 1, pi. v. (1873). 



Presented by M. Delfortrie, 1874. 



M. 1633. Cranium, with the hinder portion of the right ramus of 

 the mandible attached ; from the Upper Eocene of Bach, 

 near Lalbenque (Lot), France. This specimen, although 

 somewhat obscured by matrix, is valuable, as it shows the 

 enormously developed coronoid process of the mandible, 

 as in the perfect specimen figured by Filhol in the Ann. 

 Sci. Geol. vol. xiv. pi. x. fig. 4. Purchased, 1884. 



M. 1634. The mandible, imperfect posteriorly, and wanting the 

 incisors, canines, and first premolars ; from the Upper 

 Eocene of Bach. This specimen is precisely similar to one 

 figured by Filhol in the Ann. Sci. Geol. vol. viii. pi. v. 

 fig. 229. Purchased, 1884.

4 Les Enchainements, Mam. Tert. p. 224 (1878). Gaudry identifies A. pari- 

 siensis with A. magna, Filhol ; but Filhol (Ann. Sci. Geol. -vol. xiv. art. 5) does 

 not accept this. Cope was inclined to identify Notharctus, Leidy, with Adapis ; 

 but this is not accepted by Filhol.
