Buffon’s figure of le Rat de Madagascar, which is the type of 
Lemur pusillus, represents the animal as having a short hind foot, 
and in that particular better represents my Cheirogaleus minor than 
any animal that M. I. Geoffroy would place with the Galagina, or 
M. Dahlbom with the Macrotarse. I have never seen a Lemur with 
small ears and a long foot; so that I suppose a true Microcebus has 
not occurred to me; but I doubt much if Buffon’s figure represents 
the genus, 
Tribe II. GALAGONINA.

together, and projecting horizontally forwards. Skull rather elon- 
gate, broad. Anterior false grinder elongate, erect, conical, com- 
pressed, with a slight notch at each side near its base; the lower 
canine large, conical, bent up; grinders large, broad. Feet broad, 
short, only two-thirds the length of the shank. The toes broad, 
with distinct roundish disks. The thumb very broad. The eyes 
very large; the iris very contractile, leaving a very small, erect, 
oval or lanceolate pupil. ‘Tail very long, with spreading hairs, 
tapering at the end.
