It differs from the adult chimpanzee in a rounder face, more 

 prominent cheek-bones, and more hollow cheeks, larger ears, less 

 prominent muzzle, and the whiskers round the face ; and, it is im- 

 portant to add, the different name which the natives give to this 

 animal. 



The cry of the Kooloo-Kamba is very different from that of 

 the T. calvus and chimpanzee, resembling the syllables " Kooloo," 

 which I have heard, and from which it derived its name among the 

 natives, — " Kamba " meaning " to speak," among one tribe ; other 

 tribes give to the animal only the name of " Kooloo." 



This ape was killed by me in the Ashankolo Mountains. As 

 I was returning to our camp, I heard the cry of " Kooloo, Koo- 

 loo," and asked my guide what it was ; he said that it was a kind 

 of " man of the woods," which I had not seen before, called Kooloo- 

 Kamba. It was then too dark to go in search of the animal, but 

 a little before daylight the next morning we got up and went 

 toward the place where the ape had retired for the night. Day- 

 light had nearly appeared, and I began to fear that the animal 

 had left, when I was suddenly started by the cry of " Kooloo, 

 Kooloo." I looked above, and saw the animal on the tree on 

 which it had spent the night, and there killed it. 



It is very seldom that this animal comes so near the coast, and 

 as we brought it to the camp it was a gi'eat object of wonder to 

 the men. It is said to live in the country much farther toward 

 the mountains of the interior. The stomach contained nothing but 

 vegetable food. 



Cercopithecus nigripes. The black-footed Guenon, called 

 " Ponday " by the natives. The general color was iron gray, each 

 hair tipped and ringed with yellowish white on the sides, and with 

 rufous on back of the neck and shoulders ; lower half of the back, 

 outside of fore legs, and feet of hind legs black; thighs cine- 

 reous gray, tipped and ringed with whitish ; all the lower parts, 

 and inside of fore-legs and thighs light rufous yellow. On the 

 forehead a patch shaped like a horse-shoe of a yellowish white, 

 terminating behind on a level with the ears ; between and to the 

 outside of the arms of the horse-shoe, black ; near the tip of the 

 ears on the inside a pencil-like tuft of yellowish rufous hair ; face 

 black, almost naked ; cheeks hairy, yellowish rufous. Tail : basal
