ZOOLOGICAL LITERATURE. 
the skulls of the so-ealled Anthropoid Apes agree completely 
with those of other mammalia in all the essential points of 
form and structure, in tlie general configuration as well as in 
particular respects, and that they are widely and absolutely 
different from the human skull in every point of importance. 
The second part of the paper is directed chieffy against views 
expressed by Prof. Huxley, and would have been not the less 
convincing if written in less popular and vehement language.

Callithrix. Dr. Gray (Ann. k Mag. Nat. Hist. xvii. p. 57-68) has ex- 
amined the specimens in the British Museum. He arranges the species -in 
two sections, with or without elongate stiff hairs, and distinguishes them 
by the colour of the hands and feet. Two species are described as new, 
viz. C. ornatUy from New Granada (p. 67), and C. castaneoventris, from ( 
Brazil (p. 58). 
*A Microrhynchus. Mr. St. G. Mivart has published, as a supplement to his 
memoir on the skulls and dentition of the Lemuridce (see Zool. Becord, i. 
p. 13), a very elaborate account of the cranial and dental characters of Mi- 
crorhynchus, of which no skull was formerly available for examination. Its 
position with Tropithecus and Indris in tho group Indrisince is fully con- 
lirmed, and there is even some difficulty to find distinctive characters suffi- 
cient to justify even its generic sep.aration from the latter genus. Tlie paper
