Usambara: 2 specimens (J\ ?) from Same : ' 3 /o - Kilimandjaro : 4 specimens 

 from the cultivated zone at Kibonoto resp. '";-,, 15 /7 and 3 /io 1905 - - 1 specimen ( J 1 ) from 

 Kibonoto Oct. 1905 2 specimens from Kibonoto Nov. 1905. Merit : Ngare na nyuki. 



The specimens from Same agree with those from Kibonoto. It is hardly possible 

 that there should be one race of pygerythrus-moTnkeys at Moshi (the type-locality of C. p. 

 johnstoni) and another at Kibonoto and Same. I have therefore used POCOCK'S name 

 but must at the same time state that the colour of the specimens before me cannot be 

 termed washed- out tawny grey as that of the type-specimens, but it is much richer 

 and more suitably called yellowish brown. 



This monkey as well is common on Kilimandjaro but does not extend its distri- 

 bution higher up than to the cultivated zone. It is however, most common on the 

 low lands, in the forests of acacias with yellow bark, as for instance, at Ngare na nyuki. 

 Professor SJOSTEDT writes about them: It is really astonishing how well their colour 

 at some distance agrees with that of the acacias and when they sit motionless close to the 

 trunk with the black face turned towards the spectator the same resembles in the most 

 puzzling way the black marks on the yellow bark designating the places where branches 

 have fallen off. The monkeys seem to know this protecting resemblance and when they 

 have been scared and thrown themselves from tree to tree they stop suddenly and press 

 close to the trunk remaining motionless. The colour of their face which so strongly 

 contrasts with their general colour proves thus in these surroundings to harmonize with 

 the natural conditions where they live.

Merit: 1 skin and skull of a (young but) adult male from Ngare na nyuki, 36 /n 1905 

 - 1 skin and skull of a young animal from the same locality "'Yn 1905. 



The skull of the former of these in which the last molar is fully developed presents 

 in a most striking manner the characteristics mentioned by MATSCHIE. Its smallness 

 etc. proves fully that it is perfectly distinct from the baboon of Kilimandjaro and Usam- 

 bara. The length of the male specimen killed 26 /n measured from snout to vent was accord- 

 ing to SJOSTEDT 63 cm. 



In November 1905 Professor SJOSTEDT saw very large flocks of baboons counting 

 from 50 to 100 at Ngare na nyuki: Sometimes as many as could find place had climbed 

 up in some tree rising over the bushes but as soon as they perceived us approaching 

 they disappeared one after the other and finally the whole herd galloped away between 

 the bushes in direction of a distant forest.
