The object of the present Catalogue is to give a list of all the genera and species of the Monkeys, Lemurs, Colugoes, and Frugivorous Bats in the British-Museum Collection,- with references to other species described from other collections. The letters B.M. after a specific name denote the species that are now contained in the Collection and the absence of those letters indicates the species which are desi- derata, and therefore desirable to be procured for the Collection. The woodcuts arc the same as wcro prepared to illustrate papers published in the ' Proceedings of the Zoological Society,' which are kindly lent by the Council of that Society for the purpose. These sheets were printed in 18G7, when the printing was inter- rupted by my ill health, and have been detained in the hope that I should be able to revise the remainder of the manuscript, which I still hope to print in a separate part at a future time.
