The Dermopterous Insectivores were associated with the Primates, as 

 by most of his predecessors, and formed the last family (Famille des 

 Galeopithecides) of that order. 



Wagner,* 1855. 



Dr. Johann Andreas Wagner, in his supplementary volume (1855) to 

 Schreber's work on mammals, lias given a monograph of the order, and 

 referred to it the genus Oaleopithecus, previously associated with the le- 

 murs, or bats, or isolated as the type of a distinct order. There is nothing 

 else especially noteworthy in his arrangement, and the encomiums which 

 have been i)aid to it by some writers are not deserved. The degree to 

 which it departs from a true exposition of the natural relations, as ex- 

 pressed in structure, may be readily seen on a comparison of his classifi- 

 cation with Mivart's.
