132 LEMUR 



to the genus, viz., L. catta. The others are tardigradus, of the 

 genus Loris, and volans included in Galeopithecus. 



1762. Brisson, Regnum Animale. 



Four species of Lemur are here given, under the genus Pro- 

 simia: viz., P. fusca, P. pedibus albus, P. pedibus fulvis, and P. 

 cauda annulis cincta. The first three cannot be determined 

 with any degree of certainty, the fourth, however, is without 

 doubt Lemur catta Linnaeus and must be regarded as the type 

 of Brisson's genus. 



1766. Linnceus, Systema Natures. 



Beside the species in the former edition of this work, given 

 above, two more are added, L. mongos, and L. macaco. 



1774. Schreber, die Sdugthiere in Abbildungen nach der Natur mit 

 Beschreibungen. 



Various species are given in this work under Lemur, not all of 

 which belong to that genus. L. tardigradus — Loris tardi- 

 gradus; L. mongos (nee Linn.), = L. fulvus E. Geoff., 

 and is mixed in synonymy and plates. L. fulvus and L. rufi- 

 frons are confused together and the synonymy given belongs 

 partly to each, while plate XXXB represents L. fulvus, and 

 XXXIXA has a figure of L. rufifrons. L. macaco Linn., is 

 also confused with L. variegatus (Kerr), and plate XLA 

 represents the former, and XLB the latter, while the synonymy 

 belongs partly to each. L. catta is correctly given. The "Yellow 

 Maucauco" of Pennant is included without any Latin designa- 

 tion in the text ; but is called on plate XLII, Lemur simia- 

 sciurus. Lemur volans = Galeopithecus volans. 

 A plate of L. albifrons, No. XXXIXD is given. 



1777. Erxleben, Systema Regni Animalis. 



Species of various genera are here included in the genus Lemur, 

 but the following valid forms are properly placed. L. mongos ; 

 (nasus albus, Africa orign.) ; L. macaco, (nee synonymy) ; L. 

 catta. The others are L. tardigradus = Loris tardigradus ; 

 L. Havus = Perodicticus potto ; L. tarsus undeterminable. 

 L. volans = Galeopithecus volans. 



1788. Gmelin, Systema Natures. 



A number of species representing various genera as now 

 accepted are here included in the genus Lemur. L. tardigradus 

 = Loris tardigradus; L. indri = Indris indris; L. potto 

 = Perodicticus potto ; L. mongoz ; L. macaco ; L. catta ; L. 

 murinus = Microcebus murinus; L. bicolor Miller, unde-
