XXVIII. — Descriptions of apparently new Species and Sub-species of Mammals belonging to the Families Lemuridpe, Cebidffi, CallitrichidiB, and Cercopithecidje in the Collection of the Natural II istoru Museum. By D. G. Elliot, D.Sc, F.R.S.E., &c. Having for some time been engaged in tlie study of the Primates, it was found necessary to investigate tlie material contained in the various great museums in the Old World, and, beginning with tlie vast collection of the Primates con-tained in tiie Natural History Museum, London, my friend Mr. Oldfield Thomas, Curator of Mammalogy in that institu-tion, not only most kindly gave me every facility for pursuing my studies, but also requested that I would describe any specimen tiiat I found in the collection that I considered might be new. In various genera the Museum is very rich both in number of species and examples, and the advantage one possessed in working with such splendid material is exemplified in the comparatively large number of new forms contained in this paper. My thanks, therefore, are especially due to Mr. Tiiomas for the opportunity, not only of examining the great collection under his care, but of making known to niatnmalogists the various forms that seemed worthy of sj)ecial recognititdi.
