72 GAL AGO 



13 ; length of mandible, 26 ; length of lower molar series, 13. Ex type 

 British Museum. 



This is a pale species with a long bushy tail, and belongs to the 

 small forms of the Galago senegalensis group, and does not approach 

 very nearly in color to any of the other species. Mr. Grant, as quoted 

 by Messrs. Thomas and Wroughton, states that at Cogungo, Inham- 

 bane, it was "common and inhabited the forests. It is strictly noc- 

 turnal, sleeping during the day in hollow trees, where it may generally 

 be taken in small family parties. This species like many others is 

 eaten by the natives."
