foot would make a prehensile one like that of the Simiide, an 
vice versa. In any case, whatever may have been the later stages in 
the phylogeny of Homo, we can regard such Lemurs as the 
Adapide as in the direct line from the Phenacodontide. 
There is a remarkable resemblance between man and the Anthro- 
poid apes in some parts of their skeleton in which they differ from 
the monkeys (Cercopithecidæ, Cebidee, Hapalide, and Lemuride). 
These characters seem to have been neglected by taxonomic writers. 
In the first place, the Anthropomorpha (Hominid and Simiide) 
agree in wanting anapophyses of the vertebre, while the families 
of monkeys and lemurs, above mentioned, agree with the Carniv- 
ora in possessing them. ‘This gives a distinctly different char- 
acter to the vertebral articulations in the two divisions. In the
