GALAGO 47 



G. senegalensis a synonym. The fact is Schreber never de- 

 scribed a species by the name galago, and therefore the position 

 is exactly reversed, galago Schreber being non-existent, senegal- 

 ensis Wagner becomes a synonym of Geoffroy's species. Two 

 other species are given for the genus, O. crassicaudatus and 



O. ALLENI. 



1840. Lesson, Species des Mammiferes Bimanes et Quadrumanes. 



Two species and three varieties are given in this List. G. cras- 

 sicaudatus E. Geoff., G. acaciarum = G. senegalensis 

 Fischer; G. acaciarum var. A. alleni = G. alleni Waterh. ; G. 

 acaciarum var. B. senegalensis = G. senegalensis Fischer ; G. 

 acaciarum var. C. sennaariensis = G. senaariensis Lesson. 



1842. Sundevall, in Kongliga Svenska Vetenskaps Akademie. 



Galago sennaariensis Less., is here renamed G. (Otolicnus) 

 teng. 



1844. Van der Hoeven, in Tijdschrift voor N atuurlijke Geschiedenis 

 en Physiologie. 



Under Otolicnus, here employed as a genus, five species are 

 given : O. galago = G. senegalensis ; 0. alleni = G. alleni ; 0. 

 crassicaudatus = G. crassicaudatus ; O. garnetti — G. gar- 

 netti ; and O. madagascariensis = Daubentonia madagas- 



CARIENSIS. 



1855. Wagner, Schreber, Sdugthiere, Supplement. 



Under Otolicnus six species are here given, viz. : 0. crassicau- 

 datus (Geoffroy) ; 0. garnetti (Ogilby) ; O. galago Schreber, 

 non-existent; O. alleni (Waterhouse) ; O. minor Gray, (a 

 Microcebus) ; and O. demidoffi (Fischer). 

 O. galago Schreb., non-existent, is divided into three sections, 

 but the sections are treated as synonyms. These are 0. teng 

 (Sundevall), with sennaariensis as its synonym; O. sene- 

 galensis (Geoffroy); and 0. moholi (Smith), with a new 

 name australis, as its synonym, which is synonymous with G. 

 senegalensis Geoffroy; 0. minor (Gray), is a Microcebus 

 and synonymous with M. murinus (Miller). 



1856. R. G. Dahlbom, Zoologiska Studier afhandlande Djurrikets 

 Naturliga Familijer. 



Four species are here recognized in the genus Galago: G. 

 crassicaudatus ; G. alleni ; G. senegalensis ; and G. con- 

 spicillatus = G. senegalensis.
