COMMENTS. — The skull belongs to the type specimen (a male) whose naturalized skin was destroyed due to its poor preservation (inscription on a label under the pedestal). The lemur was alive, one of seven specimens donated by the Dutch Government in Cape Town to François Péron, whose provenance is unknown ( Péron 1804a).
