Suborder LEMUROIDEA. 



Family LEMURID^E (pt. i. p. 8). 



Genus ADAPTS (pt. i. p. 8). 



Adapis magna (pt. i. p. 262).

 except pm. 1 are preserved. 



Presented by Sir E. Owen, K.G.B., 1884. 



Genus CJENOPITHECUS, Riitimeyer '. 



There is considerable doubt if this form is really distinct from 

 Adapis, with which it was provisionally identified by Gervais 2 . 

 Gaudry 3 compares the teeth of Ccenopithecus to those of Lemur and 

 Hapalemur, while those of Adapis are regarded as nearer to Indris 

 and Galago ; but the dentition of A. magna, figured by Gaudry 4 , 

 closely resembles Eiitimeyer's figure of Ccenopithecus. 



Caenopithecus lemuroid.es, Eiitimeyer \ 



This is the type species. 

 Hab. Switzerland. 



M. 2175. Cast of a fragment of the right maxilla, probably belonging 

 to this species, and containing five cheek-teeth. The 

 original is from the Upper Eocene (Oligocene) of Eger- 

 kingen, near Soleure, Switzerland ; the true molars 

 apparently resemble those of the type specimen, figured 

 by Riitimeyer in the ' Denkschr. schw. Ges. Nat.' vol. xix. 

 art. 3, pi. v. figs. 87-88 ; the specimen is not sufficiently 

 perfect to admit of exact comparison with Adapis.
