' Annalos Ju Museum,* vol. xix. (lyi2) ; Shnia azanc appears 

 ill tlio list of Suutli-Americaii monkeys included hy Iluiiiboldt 

 in liis • Uciuiil d'CJbscrvatioiis de Zoulo^io,' p. .'Jij7. The 

 latter is dated 1811 on the tiflepai^e, but it is evident that 

 page W'u was issued at least in 1812, and alter the volume 

 ot the ' Annales' tor the same year, as the classification an<I 

 names given by (jeoffroy are frequently alluded to by 

 llumboKIt in his list. 



Coming now to the Lemuroidea, 1 find that the rufTed 

 lenair must be called Lemur vurief/ulus instead of viri'us, the« 

 former name dating from 17i)2, when it was published by 

 Kerr in his ' Animal Kingdom ' as Lemur macaco^ var. 

 varieijatus, whereas it was only in 18^1 that I. Geoffroy 

 first used L. varius*. 



larsius tarsier must also ho substituted by T. sp'-cfrnm, as 

 Lemur tarsier was employed by Erxleben in 1777t, i^nte- 

 dating therefore the publication of Pallas's name Lemur 

 spectrum (1778) by a year.
