THE TARSIER (i uat. size). 



CHAPTER VITT. 



Apes, Monkeys, and Lemurs, — conchcded. 



The Tarsier and the Aye-Aye. 



These two strange creature.s, althougli .sufficiently nearl}' related to the lemurs to 

 be included in the same gi-eat 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 

 di.stinct families — Tarsiidce and CInromijida'. This gives us, for the first time, 

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

 species.
