APPENDIX 257 
A work that is extremely rare in Europe and America has very 
lately been acquired for the Library of the American Museum of 
Natural History in New York, viz., ‘““Memoires concernant 1|’Histoire 
naturelle de |’ Empire Chinois par des Péres de la compagnie de Jésus,” 
and published in “Chang-Hai.” In the fourth volume of the series 
is a description of a Tarsius from Mindanao, Philippine Archipelago, 
by P. M. Heude, S.J., as follows: 
SUBORDER LEMUROIDEA. 
FAMILY TARSIIDZE. 
GENUS TARSIUS. 
Tarsius carbonarius Heude, 4, 1899, p. 164, pl. X XXIII, figs. 4, 
by G7: 
Type locality. ““Golfe de Davao, et vallée du rio Pulangui,” Island 
of Mindanao, Philippine Archipelago. 
Descr. “Cette espéce se distingue de l’espéce type, par la forme 
de ses premolaires supérieures, le développement des molaires, 1’étroi- 
tesse de la longueur plus grande du crane. On m’a dit guw’il mangeait 
du charbon.” 
The author compares this Mindanao example with one from 
Java, from which it is of course quite distinct, but he is obviously 
ignorant of T. PHILIPPINENSIS Meyer, also from Mindanao, described 
in 1894, five years previously, from which his proposed new species 
cannot evidently be separated. It will be noticed that in the lines I 
have italicized the author repeats the fable of these animals eating 
charcoal! 
T. carbonarius Heude will therefore become a synonym of T. 
PHILIPPINENSIS Meyer.
