[Puates I. to VI.] 
Introductory Remarks. 
THE Lemuroidea! present many features of especial interest both to the zoologist 
and the comparative anatomist, because they may be considered, as it were, the trans- 
ition between the higher Primates and ordinary Mammals, and because of the great 
varieties and striking peculiarities of form and structure which so many of them 
exhibit. 
In addition to the notices regarding Lemur and Loris contained in Meckel’s ‘ Com- 
parative Anatomy’, several special memoirs have from time to time appeared of various 
genera of the suborder. Such are J. van der Hoeven’s treatise on the Potto®, and 
F, A. W. van Campen’s admirable paper on the same animal’; also J. L. C. Schroeder 
van der Kolk and W. Vrolik’s joint paper on Stenops° recently supplemented by us°;
