the fourth finger, ths of an inch ; and the greatest breadth 
of hand across root of thumb is a^ths of an inch. 
The hind foot has the second or clawed toe the shortest, 
the fourth the longest, and the third and fifth nearly equal. 
The posterior extremities are longer than the anterior. 
The thigh, or femur, measures ifths of an inch ; the leg, or 
tibia, l/o-ths inch ; the tarsus and foot, 1/oths inch ; the 
tarsus, Ifths of an inch; the foot, ^-^ths of an inch; greatest 
breadth of foot across ball of great toe, /q- ths of an inch. 
The Tail is thick and bushy ; it becomes thicker at about 
a third of its length from the root, and continues bushy for 
about another third, from whence it tapers gradually towards 
its distal extremity. 
The second specimen is not in such fine condition ; it 
is also a male ; the measurements of its body are about the 
same as those of the other specimen. 
K The teeth are — i. ^*

The molars apparently only ^, the others as yet not being 
developed above the gum ; the sutures of the skull, how- 
ever, are completely ossified. In the first specimen the 
6 6 
molars are more numerous, probably g g, but it is not easy 
to examine them carefully without injuring the specimen. 
There were, Dr Smith believed, no examples of this 
curious little Galago in our National Museum of Science and 
Art, so he had much pleasure in presenting these specimens 
to that valuable collection. 
Dr Gray, of the British Museum, had recently published 
a monograph of this interesting group, in which he classes 
Mr Murray's specimen as the young of the Galago Demidoffii. 
This Old Calabar Galago is therefore apparently the same 
species as the Galago Demidoffii^ Fischer, as given in Dr J. 
E. Gray's revision of the Genera, published in the " Pro- 
ceedings of the Zoological Society" for 1863. In the same 
volume, however, there is a communication by Dr W. Peters, 
stating that Fischer's Galago Demidoffii is simply the young 
of Temminck's Otolicnus peli.
