I name this beautiful species Cercopithecus Wolji, in 

 honour of its discoverer , whose early death , which took 

 place in Africa the 26*'^ of June 1889 , the scientific world 

 has to deplore. The decease of Dr. Wolf prevents me 

 from ascertaining the exact locality, where this specimen 

 was procured.
