black, and upper parts sooty black, and there is known to me no species 

 whose upper parts are "light smoky blue." Its relation to C. tem- 

 MiNCKi is closer, but the color of the head and upper parts quite 

 different. It may be that Ogilby's type was a young animal which 

 had not acquired the full depth of coloring exhibited by the adult, but 

 as that is impossible to prove at present, the type having been lost, 

 it seems better not to unite it with C. temmincki, regardless of 

 Ogilby's statement, and await the arrival of sufficient material, by 

 which, any doubts now existing can be satisfactorily removed.

 Type locality. Sierra Leone. Type in British Museum. 

 Geogr. Distr. South Sierra Leone ; Liberia. West Africa. 

 Color. Forehead, top of head, neck, and upper parts of body, 

 arms to elbows, and thighs black ; some white hairs on shoulders 

 and upper part of thighs; sides of head to corner of mouth and 

 extending upward behind ears, sides of neck, chin, back of ears, 

 throat, forearms, legs from the knees, flanks, inner side of limbs, 

 and under parts dark ferruginous ; tail black at base and on apical 

 third, rest dark maroon and black mixed. Ex type British Museum. 



This species was formerly united to C. temmincki Kuhl, but is 

 quite distinct from it. The specimen described is in the Collection 

 of the British Museum and was Ogilby's type of the species. It is 

 imperfect, a flat skin, lacking the hands and feet. Another specimen, 

 however, No. 4. 6. 2. 2. is complete, and shows that the hands and 

 feet are of the same color as the forearms and legs from the knees. 

 It is evidently very distinct from C. ferrugineus Shaw, with which it 

 has been connected by some writers, Shaw's species having the back 

 "deep bay color, and outer side of limbs black."
