"This interesting monkey was readily distinguished from its 

 nearest ally, R. bieti, by its dark black back, yellowish-buff under parts, 

 and light coloured tail. 



"A young specimen, sent with the type, was coloured in much the 

 same manner as the adult, only very much paler, the crown of the 

 head and hind limbs being yellowish tinged with grey, whilst the back 

 was just commencing to become dark. The entire under parts were, 

 as in the adult, a rich yellowish-buff colour." 



This fine species is the fourth of the present genus, which contains, 

 in so far as the face and particularly the nose is concerned, the most 

 bizarre members of the Primates. They are all large, conspicuous 

 animals, and the discovery of the present species indicates that prob- 

 ably many more unknown forms belonging to this great order yet 

 remain to reward the efforts of enterprising collectors.
