Common Squii^rel-Monkey. 



The Guianan form, which agrees with the description, may be 

 accepted as typical. 



21. SYRICHTA. p. 29. Macaca. 



Linnean reference : Syst. iSTat. (6) p. 3, no. 6 ; whence we get 



" Cercopithecus Luzon, minimus D. Camel," Petiver, Gazyo- 



phylacium, pi. xiii. fig. 11. No. 176 of Index. 



This figure — although a ghastly travesty in itself — can be 



nothing bat the one monkey found in Luzon, viz., Macaca 



philippensis, philippinensis, or palpebrosus auctorum, which names 



should give way to that of M. syrichta. 



Type locality : Luzon (probably Southern Luzon, whence 

 Dr. Camel sent " Lemur volans"). 



Genus 3. Lemur, p. 29. 



Three species, no one with " Lemur" as a subsidiary name. 



Type, L. catta ; L. tardigradtis having been made the type of 

 Loris, Geoff., 1796, and L. volans of Cynocejjhalus, Bodd., 1768 

 (= Galeopithecus^ Pall., 1780). 



All authors have accepted L. catta as the type of Lemur. 



Species : 



1. TARDIGRADUS. p. 29, Loris. 



Linnean references : " Mus, Ad, Fr, i, p, 3 ; Syst. Nat. (6) 

 p. 5 *, no. 2." 



The specimen referred to in Mus. Ad. Frid. and redescribed in 

 the 10th edition is still in the Stockholm Museum, and, as 

 Dr. Lonnberg informs me, is the Cinghalese Slender Loris. It 

 may even have been the specimen figured by Seba, who is quoted 

 in the 6th edition. 



See also Thos. Ann. Mag. N. H. (8) i. p. 467, 1908, where the 

 same conclusion is reached on the ordinary " Linnean reference " 

 grounds. 



Type locality : Ceylon, 



2. CArrA. p. 30. Lemur.
