II. MAMMALIA. 
Major, P. Zool. Soc. London, 1893, p. 632, describes, without name, a 
Lemuroid skull of large size from the superficial deposits of Mada- 
gascar, apparently allied to Hapalemur. 
e. TarsiiDjE. 
Tarsius fuscomanus. Weber (vide supra, p. 21) considers this form dis- 
tinct from T. spectrum. In the latter the hands are rufous, the 
pelage rufous, and the ears slightly shorter than the head ; whereas 
in the latter the hands are brown, the pelage clear brown above and 
greyish-white below, and the ears only two-thirds the length of the 
head.

liv, p. 17G, Pleistocene, Madagascar. 
The skull on which this new genus and species are founded indicates an 
animal some three times the size of any existing Lemuroid. In 
addition to having tritubercular molars, it is characterized by an 
enormous lateral development of the anterior interorbital region of 
the frontals ; a narrow and elongated postorbital frontal region, sepa- 
rated by a slight constriction from the equally narrow parietal area ; 
and a thick and flattened sagittal, and a strong occipital crest. The 
zygoma is high, and projects moderately outwards. The relatively 
small size of the brain-case is regarded as a degenerate feature ; and 
it is surmised that younger specimens would show a relatively larger 
cerebral chamber and a shorter facial region. In the course of his 
paper the author proposes a classification of the families of the 
Lemuroids. 
2. GHIROPTPRA. 
H. Allen, P. U. S. Mus. xvi, pp. 1-28, publishes an introduction to a 
monograph of the N. American forms, in which he discusses the 
structure and morphology of the order, and gives the characters of 
the Nearctic genera.
