250 PAN 



Aubry's Chimpanzee appears to be nearest P. kooloo-kamba, but 

 can be distinguished by its smaller ears. Few examples of either of 

 these Apes have been obtained, and their exact relationship cannot be 

 said to be, as yet, satisfactorily determined.

The type of this species is a Chimpanzee with a coat that is in 

 process of change, the hairs on top of head and back turning apparently 

 from black to brown. This fact would seem to remove it from the 

 group of Chimpanzees which are black throughout their lives, never 

 changing the color of their coats. The hair of the type is long 



♦Only four teeth.
