Che animals which are included in the genus Lemur are popularly called by the French the 
Malik. They are restricted, geographically, to Madagascar, and to some of the adjacent islands, and 
u-e not found elsewhere. Instead of roaming along the boughs and through the woods with a restless 
ctivity during the night, after the manner of the Lemuroida already described, the Makis move, gam jo ,

Besting during the hours of the night, they run alon< 
he branches after daylight, searching for their food, which consists principally of fruit and occasionally 
jirds’ eggs, and even of the small birds themselves. They are very active, and as the conformation

Having, without exception, all the peculiarities of animals which move and prey by day, it is very
