ERYTHROCEBVS 11 



E. BAUMSTARKi from Masailand, but as that animal has no black 

 on brow or head it cannot be compared with the present one. 



Eeythrocebus POLioPHiEus (Reichcnbach) . 



Cercopithecus poliophceus Reichenb., Vollstand. Naturg. Affen, 

 1862, p. 122, fig. 309; Heugl., Faun. d. Roth Meeres, p. 13; 

 Pocock, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., II, 1907, p. 745. 



Type locality. Fagzohl, Blue Nile, on border of Western Abys- 

 sinia. 



Genl. Char. Shoulders mostly black, chin white. 



Geogr. Distr. Abyssinia, Bahr el Ghazal. 



Color. Face black; two black stripes from eye to ear, and a 

 branch to top of head; crown of head fox red, and back of neck 

 bright reddish brown ; upper part and sides of body dark reddish, hairs 

 tipped with white; cheeks, sides of head, throat, breast and inner 

 side of limbs white ; under parts yellowish white ; shoulders and outer 

 side of arms to elbows black ; forearms white, speckled ; hands white ; 

 thighs on outer side deep red ; legs below knees, and feet, white ; upper 

 part of tail dark purple red, beneath white ; ears black ; hairs on upper 

 lip white. Size about same as E. pyrrhonotus. Head and body, 620 ; 

 tail, 680; foot, 175. Ex specimen Vienna Museum, obtained by 

 Heuglin. White Nile. 



Measurements. Skull : total length, 122.1 ; occipito-nasal length, 

 106.6; intertemporal width, 50; Hensel, 82.3; zygomatic width, 75.3; 

 width of braincase, 69.3 ; median length of nasals, 27 ; palatal length, 

 38.6; length of upper molar series, 31.6; length of mandible, 81.4; 

 length of lower molar series, 37.1. 



This species resembles E. pyRRHONOTUS, but differs in being of a 

 darker red color, and in having black shoulders. 



It will readily be seen on comparison that the proportions between 

 the skull of this species and that of E. albigenis are altogether differ- 

 ent, this one being much shorter and broader, in fact of an altogether 

 different shape. The black and white forearms, speckled rump, and 

 black band from eye to ear will cause E. polioph.eus to be easily 

 recognized from its near relatives.
