MAMMALIA. 743 



Borneo and Sumatra ; in the last-named island the animal is named Koobeen 

 in Java Tando. It keeps in the depths of the lofty forests, is of a wild 

 disposition, and seeks its food by night. The females cany about their 

 young for a long period hanging at their belly. There is a great variety of 

 colour in different individuals, some are light grey, or brownish grey, some 

 are russet, some marbled with black stripes and large light-coloured round 

 spots. (In Sumatra there lives, according to TEMMINCK, a distinct species 

 of the last-named colour, Galeopithecus marmoratus, of which Galeopitkecus 

 rufus would seem to be the male. This naturalist adopts three species ; 

 Coup d'ceil sur les Possessions Neerlandaises, u. p. 87. SAL. MUELLEB is 

 disposed to recognise only one species in the individuals observed by him 

 in the Sunda Islands, Verh. over de nat. Gesch. der Nederlandsche Bezittingen 

 Zooloyie, p. 19. WATEBHOUSE is of opinion that the specimens from the 

 Philippine Islands are specifically distinct. They are smaller and have 

 larger molars. He names this species Galeopithecus Philippinensis, whilst 

 he refers all the others to a single species, to which he gives the new name 

 of Galeopithecus Temminckii. Trans, of the Zool. Soc. II. 1841, pp. 335 342, 

 PL 58, with figures of the skulls.) 



ORDER XI. Quadrumana. 



Incisor teeth, canines and molars ; molars equably enamelled. 

 Feet unguiculate, either all pentadactylous or only the posterior, 

 with anterior tetradactylous, pollex none. Pollex in the pentadac- 

 tylous feet remote from the other fingers, with nail flat. Mammae

Four-handed Mammals; so named on account of the disposition 

 of the digits in the anterior and posterior limbs.

 The copious article Quadrumana by W. VBOLIK in TODD'S Cyclopaedia, IV. 

 pp. 191 221, maybe consulted with advantage, in which also the literature 

 up to 1845 is noticed. 



Family XLIV. Lemurina s. Prosimii. Upper incisor teeth 

 four, mostly in pairs, approximate to the canines, separate by an 

 intermediate edentulous space, lower four or two, very often pro- 

 cumbent. Both fore and hind feet pentadactylous, with fourth 

 finger longest of all, the hind feet longer than the fore feet, with 

 nail of second finger incurved, narrow, subulate, suberect; the other 

 nails flat.
