of letters. Elliot tries further to throw some doubts on 

 the validity of this subspecies by saying that alhogularis 

 proper »has been taken in rather close proximity [to Kili- 

 manjaro], such as Nairobi forest etc.» This is, however, en- 

 tirely erroneous because the member of the albogularis-growp 

 which is to be found in the Nairobi district is quite a differ- 

 ent animal viz. Cercopiiecus kolhi Neumann, even if the 

 Kima of Nairobi has been referred to as C. albogularis, be- 

 fore its difference bad been stated, and before the name kolbi 

 had been given.

A specimen (J*) collected ^7i 1^14 near Juja farm be- 

 longs to the tehaica-group, and to judge from the dimensions 

 it ought to be P. revoili Robin.

Some of these specimens are paler than the others and 

 approach more or less Osgood's subspecies schisiacea in having 

 the tail bicolor and in being more greyish above and paler 

 below than the typical fumosa. On the other hand there 

 are also from the same localities dark specimens with the 

 tail all dark. Osgood's type of schisiacea was from Lukenya 

 Mountain, British East Africa.
