This is the only specimen of this form I have seen. Slack only 

 exhibited a cast of the head when he conferred the above name, but 

 nothing whatever is known of his type or what has become of it. It 

 is not in the Collection of the Philadelphia Academy of Natural 

 Sciences, and I could find no record that it had ever been there. 



The two following specimens are in the Berlin Museum, but not yet 

 characterized by Herr Matschie. The large gray Gorilla may represent 

 an old individual in the pale pelage of G. g. matschie, or G. gorilla ; 

 but the wholly black example is possibly a distinct form, as it is the 

 only specimen of that color known.
