 the interior of the Chittagong hills ; presented by the Rev. J. Barbe : another 

 adult male, from the Tipperah hills ; presented by F. Skipwith, Esq. ; and a

 Lemuridcc and Galeopithecidce, the following species of Lemuridce. 



Lemur mococo, Lin. (Old collection). Inhabits Madagascar. 



Nycticebus tardigradus, (Lin., apud Raffles.) Three marked varieties, and 

 a fourth which is perhaps distinct. — 1. Javanese variety, N. jav aniens, Geoff. 

 Specimen from Java, presented by the Batavian Society. Colour fulvescent. 

 Two strongly marked and defined dark bands, ascending from around the 

 eyes, meet at the occiput, where another equally defined band crosses them 

 from ear to ear : the united occipital band is continued along the back, and 

 becomes gradually evanescent towards the short tail. — 2. Malacca variety. 

 Equally fulvescent with the last ; but the white, ascending from between the 

 eyes, in general much diminished in quantity : around the eyes dark ; but no 

 defined bands ascending therefrom, the summit of the head being of a uniform 

 diffused rust-colour, in which the markings of the preceding variety may 

 sometimes be faintly traced : the occipital and dorsal stripe sometimes well 

 developed, not unfrequently indistinct. Three specimens ; two presented by 

 the Rev. F. J. Lindstedt, one having the dorsal band well defined, the other 

 indistinct ; the third, with indistinct facial markings as in the preceding variety, 

 presented by R. W. G. Frith, Esq.— 3. Bengal, Assam, Sylhet, and Arracan 

 variety. In general much paler than the others, occasionally almost white : 

 the ears and around the eyes dark, but rarely a trace of the frontal and sinci- 

 pital bands ; the glabellar streak, between the eyes, white and distinct ; the 

 frontal region uniformly albescent : specimen from Goal para, presented by 

 Dr. Thorburn : another, from Arracan, presented by Capt. Phavre : and a 

 female and young from Tipperah, presented alive by F. Skipwith, Esq. This 

 female is prepared as a skeleton. — 4. Very deep-coloured variety (?), with 

 remarkably short limbs; locality unknown. From the Society's old collection.
