In the Neolithic Caves of Gibraltar and the Spanish mainland are 

 found skulls of a small long-headed race, with orthognathic profile,

Proposes a new group, PachylemurulcBj to include the Palceolemiir 



Beiillei from the phosphatic beds of Bedner (L. Miocene), Aclajns, Aphe- 



lotherium, the genera of Lemurs recently described by Professors Cope 



and Marsh from the Miocene of the Western States, and a new fossil 



from St. Antonin, now described under the name of Adapts magniis. 



Another fossil Lemur {Necrolemur antiquuSf n. sp.) from the same 



formation at Quercy is represented as allied to Gctlago seiiega- 



lensis by its lower jaw and molar teeth, to Lepilemur ruficaudatus by 



its premolars, as well as by the structure of parts of the lower jaw, 



and to Oalago crassicciuclatus by the characters of the interorbital tract 



and of the sagittal crest. L. C. M.
