TARSIUS 13 



philippinensis ; but knowing how rarely a small colored figure 

 gives a correct representation of the original, I should expect to find 

 the present form inseparable from T. philippinensis. Being at 

 present unable to prove it to be the same, I leave T. sanghirensis to 

 occupy a specific rank.
