THE AFRICAN GALAGOS. 47 
broad, with rounded discs ; thumb very broad ; tail very long. 
Entirely pale grey over the head, face, cheeks, body, and tail ; 
throat nearly white ; hands and feet dark brown, nearly black; 
nose black ; ears nearly black. One of the largest species of 
the Sub-family. Length, 12 inches; tail, 16 inches long. 
Distribution.—This species was discovered by Mr. Monteiro 
in Cuio Bay on the West Coast of Africa, to the south of 
Loanda; and the late Captain Cameron, R.N., brought a few 
specimens home with him from Bailunda, on his return from 
his celebrated march across the Continent. 
Habits.—Little is known of this species from observation in 
the field. A few specimens have reached Europe, and on one 
that lived in the Zoological Gardens in London, Mr. Bartlett 
made the following observation: ‘The animal has the power of 
turning its ears back by the complex muscles of their external 
aspect, and folding them up when at rest. When moving 
about or in search of food they spread out and stand upward 
and forward, reminding one of those of the Aye-Aye; but 
when folded back and down, the animal’s face bears a strong 
resemblance to the Douroucouli (Vyctipithecus).”
