The skin of the adult measui-es about 5 inches long, from the tip of the nose to the base of the tail; the tail is Ik inches long ; the hind foot and shin are about 1 inch 8 lines long. There are some smaller specimens in spirits, which appear to* be younger, which have the hind foot only from 1 inch 4 lines to 1 inch G lines long. I am induced to suppose that Mr. Murray's Galago murinus from Old Calabar is the young of this species, as the hind foot is figiired about Ih inch long. The skidl without a lower jaw, which in the Museum Catalogue of Bones is put wnCicr Microcebus ('p. 33),e%idently belongs to this species. Fio-. GaUujo iJeinidoJ/ii. 8. LEPILEMUR ? I. Geoff. 1851.
