should more properly be assigned a place among those quasi species 

 deemed indeterminable.

GRAY -HEADED LEMUR. 



Type locality. Unknown. 

 Geogr. Distr. Madagascar. 



Genl. Char. Hands and feet bright rufous red ; head gray. 

 Color. Top of head, face and ears gray; rest of pelage, body, 

 limbs, hands, feet, and tail bright rufous red. 



The type of this form was not in the Paris Museum although a 

 diligent search was made for it, and I could not therefore give a 

 description from the example, nor take any measurements. 



No description was ever published so far as I have been able to 

 learn, except the short one in Forbes, (1. c.) and all we know of the 

 form, is the figure in the work above cited. Whether or not a figure 

 alone is sufficient (no matter how well colored it may be) to establish 

 a species, naturalists are not yet in accord, and as the above brief 

 description was taken from the plate, it may not be sufficient to make 

 amends for former lapses. The plate exhibits a figure of an apparently 

 distinct animal.
