 ducts) open into the mouth. 



The Neck is rather short and slender. There is no ap- 

 pearance on the back of the neck in this specimen " of the 

 spinous processes of the five last cervical and first dorsal verte- 

 brse, piercing through the hairy integument of the back, with 

 a weak horny covering," as described by Van der Hoeven of 

 the Stenops potto. 



The Limbs are very slender, and nearly equal in length, 

 the hinder extremities being a little larger and stronger in 

 their development than the anterior. The Fore hands 

 (see fig. 1 of the annexed careful drawings, nearly the size 

 of life, for which I am indebted to my friend, T. Strethill 

 Wright, M.D.) are thinly covered with short hair on the

 The thumb is much larger than any of the other fingers, to 

 which it is opposed. There is a large rounded, fleshy, and 

 horny tubercle, nearly Jth of an inch broad at its base, 

 which projects about £th of an inch from the base of the 

 thumb, on the inner side (next the centre of hand). Im- 

 mediately opposed to it, and of equal size, or a very little 

 larger, is another apparently simple tubercle, rising from the 

 outer side (next thumb), of the base of the clustered fingers 

 (see * fig. 1) ; this however, is the rudimentary index finger, 

 its free extremity projecting only about Jth of an inch. It 

 is supported by a short metacarpal bone, with a full and 

 rounded extremity, to which are attached two small or
