[143] Cheiromys Madagascariensis.
[144] The formula of the milk set is—I. 42, C.20, M. 22 = 12. That of the permanent set is—I. 22, C. 00, P. M. 20, M. 66 = 18. Professor Peters of Berlin moreover states his having found in a very early stage of development in the Aye-Aye, rudimentary teeth yielding a milk dentition—I. 62, C. 20, M. 62 = 18.
[145] The simplicity of this classification is its great merit. The student will, however, find many other genera mentioned in books or placed before the specific names in museums. Thus, the beautiful Lemuroids in the British Museum of our genus Indris are called Propithecus, when the animals have tails, and the genus Lemur is termed Varecia. The genus Galago includes the animals called by some zoologists Otolicnus and Otogale, &c.
[146] Pteropus medius.

[150] Pteropus poliocephalus.
[151] Pteropus Gouldii.
