 ciety of London.

Six species of Galago are characterized in this paper, viz. : G. 



zuluensis from Zululand ; G. hindsi from Athi River, British 



East Africa ; G. alleni batesi from Como River, Gaboon ; G. 



braccatus from Mount Kilimanjaro ; G nyass^e from Lake 



Nyassa; and G. thomasi of the sub-genus Hemigalago, from 



Fort Benin, Semliki River, East Africa. 

 1909. D. G. Elliot, in Annals and Magazine of Natural History. 



Galago pupulus first described from Yola, Nigeria.

G. talboti ; G. elegantulus tonsor; and G. braccatus albipes are 



here first described.

G. kikuyuensis first described as Galago (Otolemur) kiku- 



yuensis. 



GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF THE SPECIES AND SUBSPECIES. 



The Bush Babys, by which name the members of the genera Gala- 

 go and Hemigalago are known, are found upon the African Con- 

 tinent, between Sennaar and Natal on the east, and Senegal and Por- 

 tuguese West Africa on the west. They are also natives of the islands 

 of Zanzibar on the east coast, and Fernando Po in the Gulf of Guinea 

 on the west. As is the case with most of the groups among the Pri- 

 mates, it cannot be said that the distribution of the members of these 

 genera are satisfactorily known, and some may have a much greater 

 dispersion than is here recorded. It is quite evident that distinct 

 forms are fairly numerous, but the material at present available is not 

 sufficient, (a number of species or races being represented by only a 

 few examples, and from either a single, or a very limited number of 

 localities), for a definite geographical distribution to be given. There- 

 fore the following ranges assigned to the various members of the genus 

 can only be regarded as approximate, based upon our present rather 

 imperfect knowledge of their habitats, and subject to future rearrange- 

 ment as the acquisition of more material shall serve to increase our 

 knowledge.
