Note 640 — Chapter XIV · THE ORDER PRIMATES

For the arguments in favour of placing the Lemurs in a separate order see Milne-Edwards, “Observations sur quelques points de l’embryologie des Lemuriens et sur les affinités zoologiques de ces animaux,” in the Ann. des Sciences Nat. October 1871; and P. Gervais, “Encephale des Lemures,” in Journ. de Zoologie, tom. i. p. 7. For those for retaining them among the Primates, see Mivart, “On Lepilemur and Chirogaleus, and on the Zoological Rank of the Lemuroidea,” in Proc. Zool. Soc. 1873, p. 484.
