Hapale. 
This genus has the pectoral limb, without the manus, shorter in proportion to the 
spine than it is in any other of the Anthropoidea. 
The same remark applies to the pelvic limb minus the pes ; and even with the latter 
it is shorter, as compared with the spine, than in any of the Primates, except Lemur 
and some of the Nycticebinse. 
The limbs are the shortest and smallest found in the Anthropoidea. 
The proportion of the length of the clavicle to that of the scapula is less than in 
any other of the Primates except Tarsius. 
The length of the humerus, compared with that of the spine, is less than in any 
except Indris, Lemur, Perodicticus, and Arctocebus. 
The length of the manus about equals that of the radius, a proportion greater than 
in any of the Lemuridse or other of the Anthropoidea except Brachyurus. 
The proportion of the pollex to the longest digit is greater than in any other of the 
Anthropoidea (unless perhaps sometimes in Man) or Lemuroidea, except Arctocebus, 
Cheiromys, and perhaps Loris. The proportion of the pollex (without its metacarpal) 
to the whole length of the manus is greater than any other Primate that I have 
measured except Arctocebus. 
The length of the femur, compared with that of the spine, is less than in any of the 
order except Perodicticus and Arctocebus. 
The femur differs from that of the other Anthropoidea by its very short neck and the 
wide flat space between the trochanters behind (Plate XIII. fig. 5), thus approaching 
the Lemuroidea. 
The proportion borne by the length of the tibia to that of the humerus is about as in 
Cheiromys, and greater than in any except Indris, Galago, and Tarsius. 
The length of the pes, compared with that of the rest of the pelvic limb, is greater 
than in any except Galago, Tarsius, Cheiromys, Simia, and perhaps Nyctipithecus . 
The proportion borne by the hallux to the spine is less than in any other of the 
Primates except Colobus. 
That of its metatarsal to the spine is less than in any except Perodicticus and Arctocebu s. 
The length of the hallux, compared with that of the pollex, is less than in any other 
genus except Simia. 
The excess, in length, of the longest digit of the pes over that of the manus is 
greater than in any other of the Primates measured by me except Chrysothrix and 
Loris*. 
The length of the tarsus, compared with that of the pes, is less than in any genera 
of the order except Indris, Hylobates, Ateles, and Simia. 
The length of the longest digit (without its metatarsal), compared with that of the 
longest metatarsal, is less than in any except Man and some of the lower Simiidse. 
* I have not been able to ascertain tbe proportion existing in Callithrix, Brachyurus, and Nyeticebus.
