DR. J. E. GRAY ON THE LEMURINA. [Nov. 19, 



Fig. 5. 



Sciurocheirus allenii, nat. size. 



14. Hemigalago. 



Nose rather conical, produced beyond the upper lip. Tail slender, 

 cylindrical. Skull thin ; brain-case round. Nose conical, about 

 two thirds the length of the very large orbits. Cutting-teeth of the 

 upper jaw small and thin, erect, equal, in a very slightly arched line, 

 quite close to the inner edge of the canines, and leaving a large 

 space in the centre. The intermaxillaries large, produced in front 

 of the nose-cavity, convex externally below.

The peculiarity of the intermaxillary bone (which is not so well 

 represented in the figure quoted as it ought to be) shows an affinity 

 of this genus to Loris, in which this bone and the nose are more 

 produced, and also to Sciurocheirus, in which it is not so much 

 produced.
