angle with a white lune, and there is also a less quantity of black at 

 the aual angle. 



This species (male) was also brought to this country with the others 

 by Mr. Fortune, through whose exertions we are thus enabled to de- 

 scribe three additional species of a division which had been hitherto 

 only known by the one figured by Donovan. 



2. Notes on the Dissection of a species of Galago. By 

 W. H. Flower, Curator to the Middlesex Hospital 

 Museum. 



Having recently had an opportunity of examining the body of a 

 Galago which died in the Society's Gardens, and which I believe to 

 be an undescribed species, I proceed, at the request of the Secretary, 

 to lay before the Society some notes on its anatomy made during the 

 dissection. 



The animal was a male. When I received it the skin was removed, 

 and its dimensions were as follows : —

The upper incisors very small, placed vertically, a considerable space 

 existing between the two middle ones. The lower incisors long, very 

 narrow, projectmg horizontally, and closely approximated. 



The stomach was simple, almost globular m form ; the oesophagus 

 entered far to the right, the cardiac orifice very nearly approaching 

 the pyloric, so that while the greater curvature measured 6^ inches, 

 the lesser was but f of an inch. The small intestines were wide, 

 46 inches in length. The caecum was nearly 5 inches long, wider 

 near its commencement than any part of the intestine, and shghtly 

 sacculated, but tapering and becoming smooth towards the extremity. 

 The ileum entered thecolon at a very obtuse angle, andthere was scarcely 

 any diiference in the calibre of these two parts of the intestine. The 

 colon was without sacculations and peculiar in form, being widest at 

 the upper end, then gradually contracting till it became narrower 

 thau any part of the intestine, and dilating again into the rectum ; 

 and this appeared not to be the result of nuiscular contraction, as it
