Sub-order: LEMUROID.E 

 Family : LEMURID.^ 

 Sub-family : Galagincs 

 (The Galago s) 



The members of this sub-family have exceptionally large 

 ears, which are nearly destitute of fur, and capable of being 

 folded down as desired by the animal. Tail long and bushy ; 

 eyes large. The chief skeletal condition which separates 

 them from others of the Lemur group is the lengthening of 

 the calcaneum and naviculare in the ankle. 



In the sub-family Galaginince there are three genera in 

 Madagascar, viz. Apolemur, Microcebus, and Chirogale ; and 

 in Africa one genus, viz. Galago. 



The headquarters of the Lemur tribe is the island of 

 Madagascar, where they represent one-half of the entire 

 fauna. 



A few species are found in Africa; Southern India, Ceylon, 

 and as far east as the Celebes and Philippines.
