PLYING COLUGO. 
The ccecum, Mr. Geoffroy remarks, in a 
specimen dissected by Monsieur Cuivier, was 
extremely large and voluminous; though, in 
the Bat, to which the Flying Colugo must be 
permitted to bear considerable affinity, that 
part appears to be wanting. 
According to Mr. Geoffroy, there are two 
varieties of the Colugo: the one, like our 
Flying Maucauco, of a cinereous colour, 
with transverse darker and lighter undulations ; 
the other, like the present figure, of a fine 
cinnamon or ferruginous colour, most vivid 
on the back, and paler beneath, and without 
any kind of variegation. There are, also, 
some trifling differences in this reddish kind, 
from those of the grey; but they are not such 
as to enable us to decide whether they are the" 
result of age or of some specific difference. 
They may seem, however, sufficient to op- 
pose the notion, that the distinctions are merely 
sexual; as has been, perhaps too hastily, sug- 
gested. It seems probable, that they are rather 
local varieties.
