9. MICRORHYNCHUS, 89 
Dr. Dahlbom observes that this species would be a Lepilemur if 
it were without upper cutting-teeth; but as our Lepilemures have these 
teeth, I think it had better be placed in this genus. 
Tail elongate ; face rather compressed; orbit large, like Otogale ; 
the cutting-teeth produced horizontally in front, the lower much the 
longest ; the first upper false grinder elongate like a canine,—
