11 THE ETHIOPIAN REGION 89 



I'rKijtdus concludes a sample from a very rich list of peculiar 

 forms. 



The Ethiopian region has also its Anthropoids, the Gorilla and 

 the Chimpanzee, but they belong to genera or a genus different 

 from those which include the Oriental forms. There are five 

 peculiar genera of Cercopithecidae. The Lemurs restricted to 

 this region are Galago, Perodiciicus and Arctocebns. The peculiar 

 Insectivorous families Macroscelidae and Chrysochloridae are 

 only found here, besides many other peculiar genera. Africa is 

 especially the home of Antelopes, and the CUraffe is not found 

 now outside its borders. The Elephant and the Ehinoceroses are 

 of different species from those of India. There are many peculiar 

 r^odents and Ungulates.
