a. $ . Molino, Isabella, N.E. Luzon, May 1894. Type. Presented by Mr. Whitehead. 



Size and proportions about as in K. hardwickei, but the ears are slightly longer and 

 the lower legs shorter. Upper surface of wing-membranes to a line drawn from the 

 elbow to the foot, whole of interfemoral membrane except the terminal half-inch, and 

 surface of lower limbs to feet, thinly but distinctly clothed with long orange-coloured 

 hairs, these parts in K. hardwickei being practically naked. Forearm, carpus, and 

 index also thinly clothed. Hinder edge of interfemoral with a few short hairs along it, 

 scarcely forming a fringe. 



Colour above rufous-orange, the slaty bases to the hairs showing through, below 

 dark slaty, the lighter tips scarcely affecting the general dark tone. 



Upper inner incisors slender, with a distinct posterior secondary cusp, to the tip of 

 which the unicuspid outer incisor just reaches. Other teeth apparently as in 

 K. hardwickei. 



Dimensions of the type (an adult male in alcohol) : — 



Forearm 32 millim. ( = 1-25 inch). 



Head and body 39 millim. ; tail 39 ; head 16 ; ear from notch 13'5 ; tip to tip of 

 ears across head 28'5 ; length of index 3L5 ; third finger (exclusive of cartilaginous 

 tip) 61, fifth finger 47 ; lower leg 16 - 2 ; hind foot without claws 8.

This species is undoubtedly very close to K. hardwickei, but may be distinguished by 

 its hairy interfemoral and by the different structure of its upper incisors. It may be 

 noted that a Mindanao specimen of the older known species shows no approximation to 

 K. whiteheadi.

 a. <$ . Samar, June 10, 1896. 



"Fairly common in Samar and Leite, and on the small islands between; I have also 

 seen dozens of skins from the island of Bohol. Several Spaniards do quite a trade in 

 the skins of this Lemur, which are of all shades of brown, grey, and even bright yellow. 

 Generally beautifully mottled, but at times quite unmarked.
