THE TARSIER (\ nat. size). 



CHAPTER VIII. 



APES, MONKEYS, AND LEMUKS, concluded. 



THE TARSIER AND THE AYE-AYE. 



THESE two strange creatures, although sufficiently nearly related to the lemurs to 

 be included in the same great group, yet differ so markedly, not only from the 

 lemurs, but likewise from each other, as to make it necessary to refer them to two 

 distinct families Tarsiidce and Ckiromyidce. This gives us, for the first time, 

 instances of families represented not only by a single genus, but by a single 

 species.
