From Arckives du ilnsium, vol. iv. pi. 2. described, are characterised by the great backward projection of the occipital region of the skull, and by orbits approximating in size to those of the next genus. Nydipithecus?—Head rounded; orbits very large, separated by a narrow septum; nares somewhat approximated. The Douroucoulis .(Fig. 340), as the members of this genus are called, are of nocturnal habits, in association with which the eyes are of enormous dimensions, as in the Lemuroid genus Loris. The following account of two species of this genus is taken from Mr. 1 Kaup, Thierreich, vol. i. p. 51 (1835). " Spix, Sim. ct Vesp. Brasil, p. 25 (182-3)..
