rounded ; nasals broader and longer ; mandible much heavier, the 

 ascending ramus much broader at line of tooth row, being 13.1 mm. to 

 11.5 of CE. GEOFFROYi, with the angle more prominent. The orbits are 

 much wider the outer dimension across both being 27.5 for the present 

 species to 25.4 for CE. geoffroyi. 



The present species was procured by Mrs. E. L. Kerr, (who also 

 discovered the striking Seniocebus meticulosus lately described) in 

 the forest of the River Salaqui, among the coast mountains of north- 

 western Colombia. It would appear to be a larger animal than its 

 relative from Costa Rica and Panama. It is not probable that the 

 ranges of the species approach each other, as the Salaqui River is a 

 considerable distance to the south of the northern border of Colombia.
