650 DR. J, KIRK ON THE MAMMALS OF ZAMBESIA. _—_ [ Dec. 13, 
LemuripD&. 
4. GALAGO CRASSICAUDATUS (Geoffroy). 
Mozambique ; Quilimane; Luabo. 
Frequents the mangrove-forests and wooded country outside. In 
captivity it eats flesh, vegetables, fruits, and insects; in its native 
state it is fond of palm wine, robbing the pots used by the natives to 
collect it. This often leads to its capture when it drinks to excess. 
During the day it remains quiet in some shaded tree-top. At 
night it is very active, leaping from frond to frond, or crossing from 
one cocoanut-palm to another. 
Dr. Peters obtained specimens of this animal, not only on the sea- 
coast and maritime region to which I had imagined it was limited, 
but also from the interior. He has, after a careful investigation, 
identified it with the Galago crassicaudatus of Geoffroy. Between the 
skull of a specimen I obtained and that named G. crassicaudatus in 
the British Museum no difference is observable, although in the 
colour of the hair there is some variation. Yet I should consider 
them as one, and identical also with the specimen presented by Dr. 
Waghorn, now in the Gardens alive, which probably came originally 
from the same Portuguese gentleman who gave me my specimens. 
5. GaLaGo MAHOLI (Smith). 
Kebrabassa; Batoka; Nyassa. 
Common among the wooded hills of Kebrabassa. By day it rests 
in the bush. After sunset it becomes active, and on several occa- 
sions came about the camp-fires. Its powers of leaping are extra- 
ordinary ; in the dim light it more resembles a Bat in its movements, 
crossing from side to side, at single leaps, distances of 6 feet. Occurs 
singly or in pairs. 
CHIROPTERA. 
6. EPOMOPHORUS CRYPTURUS, Peters. 
Shupanga, S. lat. 18° 2!. 
These animals appear about sunset, and continue flying about for 
a few hours. They were abundant at the time when the Great Fig- 
tree was covered with fruit ; this they carried off to the neighbour- 
ing Bombaz trees, and ate at leisure. A much larger Bat, compared 
by the natives to Pteropus edwardsii, is said to inhabit the moun- 
tainous district of Gorongozo, south-west from Sena. 
7. PHYLLORHINA GRACILIS, Peters. 
Shupanga, in the house. 
8. PHYLLORHINA CAFFRA, Peters. 
Shupanga, in the house. 
9. RHINOLOPHUS LOBATUS, Peters. 
Shupanga, in the house.
