TEAGELAPHIN^ 161 



rufous, much the same as in typical scrijptus, with no white 

 markings on sides of body, but a fleck on under surface, the 

 remainder of which is whitish yellow-grey. 



The female is very similar to the type of delamerei (which 

 is_^ a young individual), but may be distinguished by the 

 presence of a white streak on the front of the hind-legs, as 

 well as of throat and breast patches. From sylvaticus the 

 male differs by the slight development of white in the dorsal 

 crest, as well as in the leg-markings. 



10. 11. 29. 2. Skin, mounted. Sahatu Mountains, 

 Arusi Gallaland. The coat is almost wholly black, and thus 

 different from the examples described by Neumann ; but 

 since the specimen comes from practically the same district 

 as the former, it can scarcely be racially distinct.
