. The animals of the world. Brehm's life of animals;. Mammals. THE LEMURS—LARGE-EARED MAmS. 71 All the Galagos, which are inhabitants of Africa and some of its islands, must be looked upon as carnivorous, unlike the other Makis, for they eat fruit but incidentally. To describe them, I will draw on my own and Kersjen's experience : " The Galagos are nocturnal animals, in the full sense of the word : beings for whom the moon takes the place of the sun, and for whoni day passes unnoticed, for then these animals lie curled up and sleeping in some hiding-place, their eyes shut to the hated sun- light and their ears furled up to shut out all noise. If they are rudely awakened, their eyes first assume a dreamy, far off look, then the creatures gradually regain consciousness and show their displeasure at having been disturbed. After sunset they are alto- gether different. As soon as the forest is enveloped in darkness, the Galago wakes up, roused perhaps by the -Coolness of the air ; the tail which has been curled around his head is rolled back, the eyes are opened and his ears, which have been so folded as to completely cover the orifice leading into the inner ear, are unfurled. He licks and cleans his fur, leaves his hole and begins his ghost;- ly work, which, when its results are reviewed in the day-time, is seen to con- sist of nothing but murder and robbery, marked not only by insatiable thirst for blood but also by a de- gree of cruelty rarely to be found in animals.

These words narrate nearly everything that is known about the life of the Galagos in the wild state, and it wil
