Three specimens from the Iliiligi, llonga, and Ciiauxuru were 

 taken alive. It was also heard along the Wami and Mkiita 

 llivers at many points, at Kimamba, Tindiga, and Kilosa. 



The llonga specimen Wiis only a, d.ay or two old when found 

 (24. iii. 2;5) by some natives felling trees and clearing bush : it had 

 probably been dropped by the mother in escaping from a. tree 

 which Avas being felled. I kept it for eight days, feeding it on 

 neat sweetened condensed milk, and occasionally a little Avater. 

 It seemed to thrive on this diet and relieved itself naturally 

 and regularly. 1 therefore sent it back to Kilosa in charge of a 

 native who was looking after my other animals: it died three 

 days later ( c? . 75. 98. 25. 18 mm.). 



The Chanziu'U specimen would be about two months old when 

 caught (23. iii. 23), and became very tame, showing a great liking 

 for chicken bones. At the end of a month it was found to be 

 heavily infested with lice, wliich were destroyed by a single ap- 

 plication of paraffin and camphorated oil well rubbed in. The 

 fnr assumed its normal ajjpeai'ance in two days, but an eczema, 

 which had been present before, gained ground, and would not 

 react to treatment, so that I had to chloroform the little creature 

 on 23. V. 23. 



The Ilutigi lemur was adult when captured, and though I kept 

 it for three months it was wild and intractable; it had a very 

 hearty a])petite, but having already desci-ibed the dietary of a 

 Morogoro lemur tliere is no object in repeating it.

Three specimens were purchased at Usshora, Sanga, and 

 8agayo; a fourth which was brought to me alive escaped shortly 

 afterwards. Though adult it did not bite much, but drew blood 

 when it did. The very red eyes are rather a striking feature of 

 this little grey lemvu-.
