Miller’s figures very well represent this animal, but the tail is 
more bushy and browner than in our specimens; the feet are of the 
proper size and form. The skull of the adult male has a rather 
longer nose than those of the typical Galago; and the orbits are very 
large, but scarcely so large as some of the species of that genus. It 
is 1” 23’" long, and 93 lines broad. The two front upper cutting- 
teeth are large and bifid, the inner ones small and cylindrical. The 
upper canines are erect; the lower ones are decumbent. The first 
and second upper false grinders are slightly conical and compressed.
