southern form is the Maholi galago (6r. maholi), which is a distinctly inland species 

 found as far south as Natal, and also met with in Nyasaland and the adjacent 

 districts. A galago from the neighbourhood of Titi some distance up the Zambesi, 

 has been identified with the Sennaar variety of the Senegal galago, but it would

 broad streak on the nose, the cheeks, and the throat are white, and the inner 

 surfaces of the limbs and the under-parts are whitish with a faint tinge of yellow.

 the national collection there are, however, dark rings round the eyes. This 

 variability shows that we must not regard the presence or absence of such rings as 

 indicating a specific distinction between the Senegal and Sennaar galagos. 



DEMIDOFF'S GALAGO (Galago demidojfi). 



The smallest and the last of these lemurs that we shall mention is 

 Demidoff s galago, from the West Coast of Africa. This animal differs from the
