74 LLOYDS NATURAL HISTORY. 



surface of the basal third of the tail ochre yellow, washed with 

 rufous ; shoulders and fore-limbs grey ; hands and feet black , 

 under side of the body and inner side of the limbs and the throat 

 (where the hairs are long) milky white ; terminal two-thirds of 

 the tail blackish-grey, darker at the tip. 



The chestnut auricular spots in both sexes of this species dis- 

 tinguish it from all others. 



Distribution. — The Zambesi Delta. The typical specimen 

 (which is the female above described) was given, as Dr. Sclater 

 tells us in his original account of this beautiful species, by Mr, 

 Hillier, at Chindi, to Dr. Moloney (of Lieut. Stairs' Expedition). 

 The latter brought it home alive, and presented it in 1892 to 

 the Zoological Society's Gardens, where it lived till the beginning 

 of 1893. The type specimen is now in the British Museum. 

 A second specimen, the adult male (described above) was pre- 

 sented to the Society in June, 1893, by Mr. F. Hintz, whose 

 brother had brought it from Mozambique, and had had it in 

 captivity for eight years. 



Habits. — Unknown.
