Foxing on image. Printed on border: "Nycticebus bengalensis, Geoff. Lemur tardigrada, Lin." "This animal is so sluggish in its motions, that some have been erroneously induced to consider it as a sloth. It is about the size of a small cat, and has a flattish face, a nose rather sharp, and extremely prominent eyes; it is of a pale brown or mouse color; round the eyes is a circle of dark brown, and along the middle of the back runs a stripe of the same color. During the greatest part of the day it sleeps, or at least lies without motion." Includes additional text. |
