7. GALAGO. 83 
The one from Fernando Po is larger, and the upper cutting-teeth 
form an arched series, and the grinders are very large and broad. 
The one from the Gaboon is rather smaller in size, the upper cutting- 
teeth are in nearly the same straight transverse line, and the grinders 
are scarcely three-fourths of the general width of those of the other 
skull: both skulls seem to have their perfect and permanent teeth. 
Probably this may arise from the sex of the specimen; but the sexes 
are not marked, and there is no external character to distinguish 
them. In a third and younger specimen the upper cutting-teeth 
are subequal, and placed one above the other; so that this seems to 
be the normal position of-the teeth.
