badius from Ugalla,, German East Africa, is dark reddish brown. OO. lasiotis from 
Mombasa has hairy ears and white tail. O. agisymbanus from Zanzibar appears to be 
a smaller animal than the one now described with the length of body 20 !/2- cm., 
head 5 cm., and tail 22 cm., according to the original description! by COQUEREL. 
The type specimen of Galago (Otolemur) kikuyuensis was shot in the forest near 
Escarpment station at an altitude said to be 8,000 feet, the 7th of Jan. 1910. It was 
an adult male. TI found it in the evening when it had already become so dark that 
it only with difficulty could be seen against the sky. Although I tried to secure 
some more specimens walking through the forest in the evenings before and after 
sunset, I did not succeed. My gunbearer saw once a second specimen jump from a 
tree to another, and we heard the »Komba”s» chattering seream now and then in the 
evening, that was all. One night part of a Dendrohyrax which I had shot in the 
evening before but which remained hanging on a branch, was eaten, and my »boys» 
who brought it down in the morning said that it was the »Komba's> work.

This beautiful little Galago is not uncommon in the dry thornbush country 
north of Guaso Nyiri, and it may be seen astir and moving about in the bushes 
even in broad daylight. The first specimen was observed by the present author in 
the bushes bordering the dry bed of a small rivulet at Njoro ?'/2. It was not shy 
at all, but I had no shotgun and was just trying to stalk a Giraffe at that moment, 
so I had to leave it alone. About 3 weeks later when we were camping north of 
Guaso Nyiri below Chanler Falls I saw another specimen which jumped up from the 
lower branches of a bush to the top of the same where it stared at us. This spe- 
cimen was secured. The same day '”/s the negroes accompanying Mr. CUNNINGHAME 
stoned another specimen which also was preserved. The following day I found not 
less than 3 specimens in a horribly spiny acacia bush, in which they moved with 
great dexterity, although it appeared almost impossible to evade the sharp spines. 
Two were shot in the bush and the third on the ground where it tried to run away 
with long jumps. 
The description published by THomMAS (l. c.) corresponds almost in all details 
with my specimens. As I unfortunately have no access to RIDGWAY'”s nomenclature 
of colours I do not know exactly what his »ecru drab>» islike. When my specimens 
were alive climbing and jumping in the bushes they gave the impression of being 
light grey with light ochre-yellow, or perhaps better honey-yellow hind legs. When 
made into skins the reddish fawn or vinaceous cinnamon below the tips of the hair 
shines through in some places and in others the black terminal rings of the hair form
