THE LEMURS. 



275 



The Red-Fronted Lemur (Lemur-rubifrons) ; the Ring- 

 Tailed Lemur (Lemur-catta), and the Grey or Brown 

 Mouse Lemur (Cherogalens-nutri), are all smaller than 

 the Black and the Ruffled Lemurs, the general color of 

 each being various shades of grey, with the distinctive 

 markings that the different names indicate. 



The Woolly or Dwarf Lemur (Microcebus-senithir), the 

 smallest of the Lemurs, is of a brown grey color and only 

 six inches in length. 



DRILL (DOG-FACED MONKEY). 



We have devoted so much space to the Quadrumana 

 on account of the general interest felt in these animals 

 because of theories advanced by Darwin and other scien- 

 tists in regard to their relationship to man, rather than 

 because of their value as fur-bearing animals.
