and soft, and the whiskers are rather long and pass under the chin. 

 Forehead is without hairs, but whether there never were any, or they 

 have fallen off, cannot now be told, as the type is in poor condition. 

 It has very protruding lips, but as no skull came with the specimen, 

 this is probably the result of taxidermic effort. 



The adult of this species, a fine specimen of which is in the 

 Tring Museum, has forehead and top of head bald, surrounded by 

 black hairs speckled with yellowish white, this color extending above 

 hind neck ; back and outer sides of legs and arms at elbows yellowish 

 brown with a red tinge on legs below knee ; shoulders and outer side 

 of arms dark brown ; forearms and hands blackish brown ; feet dark 

 brown ; inner side of arms blackish, legs reddish brown ; under parts 

 of body blackish brown ; short, dark brown beard on chin ; ears flesh 

 color.

Meyer (1. c.) gives a description and figure of a young brown 

 female Chimpanzee living at the time in the Zoological Gardens, 

 Dresden, and says in a footnote if an adult brown Chimpanzee exists, 

 he would propose the name of fuscus for it. 



The specimen figured by Meyer, and which must be regarded as 

 the type, is not in the Dresden Museum and nothing is known of it. 

 Even the country from which the individual came was not given, if 

 it was ascertained. 



The following specimens are those referred to on page 2Zi. As 

 they were all procured in Cameroon, one is somewhat doubtful about 

 so many Chimpanzees existing within so comparatively a restricted 

 range and yet maintaining a specific distinctness. The material in
