Eecent Contributions to the Zoology of Old Calabar. 303 
seven dozen cod from the long lines baited with the lug-worm, 
and laid on the north side of the Firth of Forth, between 
Kinghorn and Inchkeith, on the 18th instant, no less thai] 
six or seven specimens of this peculiar variety were taken. 
These varied in size from about 4 to 17 J inches in length, 
and were presented by Dr Smith, for further examination, 
to the Anatomical Museum of the University. 
VII. — Notes of several Recent Contributions to the Zoology of Old 
Calabar: — 1. Galago Demidoffii. 2. Chameleon fasciatus, n. s. ? 
3. Various insects, with " Notice of an apparently undescribed 
species o/Orthopterous Insect of the family Gryllidae, and other Insects, 
by Adam White, Esq." By John Alex. Smith, M.D. (Specimens 
were exhibited). 
1. Galago Demidoffii^ 
Dr Smith said the first of these recent contributions from 
Old Calabar he would exhibit were two male specimens of a 
very curious and interesting Galago, probably the same as 
that described by Mr Murray in the " Edinburgh Philo- 
sophical Journar' for 1859, as Galago murinus, or mouse-like 
Galago, The figure given by Mr Murray differed slightly 
from this specimen, perhaps merely due to the finer condi- 
tion of the one now exhibited, the tail being also much 
larger and fuller. 
Two specimens of this Galago were exhibited, one of them 
being in very fine preservation. The general colour, of the 
specimens preserved in spirits, is the head and upper parts 
dark brown, with a tinge of reddish-brown on the extre- 
mities of the hair ; the ears rather lighter, or reddish-brown ; 
a broad stripe of white runs down the ridge of the nose from 
between the eyes, to its white and naked extremity, where 
it divides and surrounds each side of the mouth ; the under 
lip is also apparently edged with white. The colour of the 
extremities is lighter and more of a reddish-brown. 
Below, the colour is dark grey, the points of the hair being 
lighter, and the inner sides of the extremities are of a light 
grey or white. 
This little animal measures about 8:^ inches in total 
length.
