Dr. A. Gunther on Mammals and 
p. 161, under the name of Lemur anjuanensis, in the following 
terms :—“ Pelage roux-vif en clessus, gris-roux sur les mem- 
bres : les parties anterieures du tronc cendrdes.” 
This diagnosis can be applied to more than one species of 
Lemur ; and therefore it is all the more satisfactory to find 
more definite details in Peters’s 1 Peise nach Mossambique,’ 
p. 21, who obtained, during his visit to the island, a female 
and a young specimen. His description agrees entirely with 
a specimen of the same sex obtained by Mr. Bewsher. How¬ 
ever, I am able to supply additional information on the male 
sex, of which three specimens are before me. 
The specimen named Lemur anjuanensis by John Edward 
Gray, in P. Z. S. 1863, p. 139, and in the ‘Catalogue of 
Monkeys,’ p. 75, is a very different species, seemingly more 
allied to Lemur mayottensis of Schlegel, but of unknown 
origin. 
It will be observed that Schlegel, in his recent Monograph 
of Simice, refers mayottensis , as well as anjuanensis , to Lemur 
collaris from Madagascar. 
Our three males are exactly alike : the face before the eyes 
is white, the nose blackish, the forehead with mixed black 
and whitish hairs ; the side of the throat below the eye, and 
the throat itself, bright brownish red ; crown, back, outer side 
of the legs, and the greater part of the tail grey, with a not 
very perceptible rufous tinge on the rump ; chest and abdo¬ 
men greyish, with a rufous tinge; inner side of the legs with 
scarcely any white ; hands and feet grey (in one specimen 
whitish); the terminal third or fourth of the tail blackish. 
The female has the forehead and the face of a more decided 
black colour, only the nose before the eyes being whitish. 
Sides of the throat and the throat itself wdiite, with a greyish 
collar just before the chest. Abdomen with a rufous tinge ; 
prajanal region chestnut-brown. Upper parts, legs, and tail 
as in the male.

Mr. Bewsher writes that this species is very wild, and that 
he could not succeed in taming one of the four specimens kept 
by him in captivity.
