17. Two male Galeated Curassows (Pauai galeata), brought to 
this country from the port of Santa Martha, New Granada, in com-

in living collections, and appears not to have been exhibited in the 
Society’s Menagarie since 1830. 
18. A Lemur of a species quite new to the Society’s collection, 
purchased July 29th. This animal died, unfortunately, soon after

Hapalemur olivaceus, 1. Geoffr. Cat. de Mamm. p. 75*.

external appearances of these two disputed species. Duvernoy has 
already enlarged upon the differences between the skeletons of the 
* Dr. Gray has, however, more recently described it as a new species ( Hapa- 
lemur simus), P. Z. 8. Dee. 6, 1870.
