Post‐cranial fragments of Early Miocene lorisids from Kenya and Uganda are described. All these early forms, seemingly impossible to assign to subfamily on the basis of cranial and dental material, had a post‐cranial skeleton and presumably locomotor habits as in living members of the Galaginae. Whether or not this new evidence indicates that all the Miocene forms were of that subfamily will depend upon a reassessment of the validity of the two accepted subfamilies. There now seems to be a strong possibility that the lorisine morphological habit has been derived several times from a primitive galagine one. It is much less certain that the two subfamilies represent a single division of a basic stock
