Generic Character. 
Front-Teeth in the upper jaw four: the inter¬ 
mediate ones remote. 
In the lower jaw six, longer, stretched forwards, 
compressed, parallel, approximated. 
Canine-Teeth solitary, approximated. 
Grinders several, sublobated: the foremost

The very small Lemur here represented in its na¬ 
tural size is accurately copied from an elegant spe¬ 
cimen in the possession of Mr. Latham, well known 
for his ample assortment of the curiosities of Na¬ 
ture. Mr. Latham received the specimen unaccom¬ 
panied by any particulars relative to its history or 
manners.
