5. CHEIROGALEUS, Geoff. 
Head very short, muzzle tapering. Ears small, hidden, bald on 
the edge. Cutting-teeth 22 the middle larger, in an arched series 
on sides of intermaxillaries; the first false grinder in the upper jaw 
large, conical, erect, like a small canine, and in the lower jaw also 
rather large. Legs rather elongate, more equal than in the true 
Lemurs. The feet are short and broad, about two-thirds of the 
length of the shank.

M. Isidore Geoffroy, in his account of the genus Hapalemur, 
states that in Cheirogaleus “ the cutting-teeth are in straight cross 
lines, and the ears are membranaceous.” If this is correct, the species 
here described are not Cheirogale.
