GALAGO MOIIOLI. 
slender towards the base, much thicker towards and at the tip, which arises 
from the fur being longer on these parts. On the head, body, and extremi- 
ties, the covering consists of a very fine, short, woolly fur ; on the tail, and 
the upper surface of the fingers, rather harsher. Palms of the hands and 
under surface of the fingers naked.

The male and female are of the same size, and the prevailing colours are 
alike in both ; the yellow tint is rather strongest in the male. 
As no correct figures of the internal parts of any of the species of Galago 
have yet been published, and as none of the species of that genus are to be 
readily procured, and consequently the opportunities of becoming acquainted 
with their anatomical characters must rarely occur, I have thought it advisable 
to avail myself of the materials which I possess, and furnish representations 
of the more important and interesting organs of Galago Moholi. These 
organs are represented in Plate 8 (bis.), and are — 
Fig. 1. A front view of the skull, of its natural size. 
Fig. 2. A back view of the skull, of its natural size. 
Fig. 3. A lateral view of the skull, of its natural size. 
Fig. 4. A front view of the anterior portion of the upper jaw, of its natural size. 
Fig. 5. A lateral view of the lower jaw, of its natural size. 
Fig. 6. The under or basal aspect of the skull, of double the natural size. The incisor teeth 
are disposed in pairs ; each tooth is linear, convex in front, grooved behind towards the point, 
and the apex is compressed transversely and formed for cutting. The canines are slightly curved, 
the convexity directed forward, and each tooth is provided with a heel or obtuse denticulus 
behind, near to the alveolus. The first, or false molar, is longitudinally compressed, and its apex 
tridentate, the anterior and posterior denticuli very small ; the true molars are crowned with 
several distinct points which are separated from each other by deep depressions, and these points 
are disposed, when all the teeth of the side are in situ, in two longitudinal rows, the one row upon 
the outer, and the other upon the inner, edge of the dental phalanx : the latter row is slightly
