We may thus ascend to the lemuridae; and the interval is not very wide from these to the Simiadae.

A number of difficult questions in regard to the development of man, in respect of anatomy, physiology, psychology, and embryology, are easily settled if we do not merely extend our progonotaxis to our nearest relatives, the anthropoid apes and the tailed monkeys from which these have descended, but go further back and find an ancestor in the group of the lemuridae, and still further back to the Marsupials and Monotremata.
