TARSIUS 15 



This is evidently a young animal with the teeth not yet fully de- 

 veloped. From Horsfield's description given above it is impossible to 

 say to which species it is nearest, and, therefore, for the present it 

 is left as a separate form. The only specimen from Java I know is in 

 the Leyden Museum in alcohol, and of course cannot be trusted for 

 color. It has, however, four upper incisors.
