B.M. no. of type 2. 11. 5. 1. 



This rather handsome species w^as obtained by Mr. A. B. 

 Percival on Mount Kilimanjaro, East Africa. Wliile allied 

 to O. gaUarum, Thomas, it is easily distinguished from that 

 species by its dark grey colour and the abruptness with which 

 the buff and grey come together on the legs. As is to be 

 expected of an animal dwelling at a high altitude, the fur is 

 thick and long. There are no perceptible differences in the 

 skulls. 



Galago nyasce, sp. n. 



Type locality. Mountains south of Lake Nyasa, Central 

 Africa. 



Gen. char. Fur woolly; tail bushy; skull, though much 

 broken, exhibits great differences from that of G. sennar- 

 ensis, ranging from the White Nile south to Ankola west of 

 the Victoria Nyanza. The rostrum is long and more slender, 

 the nasals long and narrow ; the palate is long and narrow, 

 and not so wide posteriorly as in the skulls of G. sennar- 

 ensis ; the anterior line of the orbit is in front of m^ instead 

 of in front oi pm^, as seen in the other ; there is only a slight 

 rise of the frontal above the rostrum, thus causing the superior 

 outline of the skull to be flatter. 



Colour. General hue above broccoli-brown ; outer side of 

 arms broccoli-brown; legs cream-buff; chest cream-buff; 

 underparts and inner side of limbs yellowish white. 



Measurements. Total length about 355 mm.; tail 185 (skin). 

 Skull: from frontal suture to end of nasals 27 ; length of 

 nasals, median line, 10; width of rostrum at canines 7; 

 length of palate 15 : width between last molars 7 ; length of
