(Lagothrix canus ) ; the Araguato ( Mycetes ursinus) ; the 
Red-handed Howler (M. nifimanus) ; the Crowned Sapajou 
( Cebus cirrifer) ; the Hand-drinking Saki ( Pithecia cheiro - 
poles ); and the Hairy Monkey (P. hirsuta). The last 
nine species are all from the American continent, and in 
Case No. 21, are some others from the same locality: viz. 
the Chamek (Ateles pentadactylus) ; the Weeper Monkey 
( Cebus apella) ; the Moloch (C. Moloch ); the Yellow 
Sapajou (C. Jiilvus) ; the Masked Monkey ( Callithrix 
personatus) ; the Great-eared Monkey ( Midas rufimanus) ; 
the Silky Monkey ( M . Rosalia) ; the Negro Tamarin (M. 
ursulus) ; and the Great-eared lacchus ( lacchus auritus ). 
In this case also is the Senegal Galago ( Galago senegalen - 
sis), from Africa. The American Monkeys differ from 
those of the old world by having four additional molar 
teeth, or grinders, a long tail, no cheek pouches, nor 
callosities, and the apertures of the nostrils on the sides 
of the nose, and not beneath. In these Cases (Nos. 1—4) 
are also some Lemurs, from Madagascar:—as, the Ruffed 
Lemur ( Lemur Macaco) ; the Red Lemur (L. rufus) ; the 
Ring-tailed Lemur (L. Catta) ; and the Slow Lemur 
( Nycticebus bengalensis ), from India. Here are also the 
following Cheiropterathe Javanese Fruit-Bat {Pieropus 
javanicus ), Java ; and the Flying Colugo ( Galeopithecus 
volans), from the Pellew Islands. Adjoining Case No. 1, 
are two glass frames, one of which contains thefrugivorous 
Bats, the other the so called Horse-shoe Bats. Over these 
Cases, is a specimen of the Dugong ( Halicore Dugong) 
from Singapore. 
The Cases No. 5—8 contain various carnivorous ani¬ 
mals.—Amongst those called Plantigrade, from their ap¬ 
plying the whole of the lower surface of the foot to the 
ground in walking, are the Malay Bear ( Ursus Malay anus, 
Horsf.), the European and American Badger ( Ursusmeles, 
Linn., and Z7. Labradoricus, Gmel.), the Rattel, or Honey 
Weasel ( Viverra mellivora, Gmel.), the Glutton ( Ursus 
luscus, Linn.), the Raccoon (UMotor, Linn.), and the 
Coati-mundi ( Viverra nasuta, Linn.), together with several 
specimens of the common Otter ( Mustela lutra , Linn.), and 
the Sea Otter ( M. lulris , Linn.).—Amongst the Digitigrade, 
or those animals which in walking rest principally on the 
extremities of their toes, are several varieties of the Dog-
