Lepilemur marinus. 
a, Microcebus myoxinus, Peters, Mossamb. Saugeth. i. p. 14, t. 4. 
Lepilemur myoxinus, Gray, P. Z. 8. 1863, p. 144. The 
figure of Dr. Peters agrees pretty well with the Museum 
specimen of LZ. murinus; but the whole colour of the fur is 
rather darker, and the ears are larger. The figure of the 
skull also agrees well with that of ZL. murinus. This is not a 
Microcebus as now restricted; the feet are too short and 
broad for that genus. In the figure the feet are short, two- 
thirds of the length of the tibia. Hab. Hastern Madagascar. 
Skull, length 1” 4" (according to the figure), breadth 103”. 
It is very like Chetrogaleus Smithii, but the ears are too large. 
The ears are very apt to be unnaturally stretched in the stuff- 
ing, or the converse and allowed to shrink in the drying. 
b. Otolemur agisymbanus, Coquerel, Rev. et Mag. Zool. 1859, 
p. 459, t. 18. f. 1 (skull). From Zanzibar Island. Coquerel 
“ believes it to be Cheirogaleus galago.” 
c. Lepilemur mustelinus, I. Geoff. Cat. Mamm.; Archives du 
Mus. t. Rufous; throat white; forehead and cheeks grey ; 
lower part of body yellowish ; the tail, hands, and lower part 
of the legs yellowish grey “outer side of the last third of the 
tail brown; tail two-thirds the length of the body; ears 
large, rounded, membranaceous, dark, Length of head and 
body 14", of tail 10". Hab. Madagascar, 1842. The descrip- 
tion of this animal agrees in most particulars with Lepile- 
mur, but it is said to have no upper cutting-teeth. May not 
this be a peculiarity of the single specimen on which the 
species is founded ? 
** Back with a black streak, forked on the occiput.
