Type locality. Mulema, Ankole, Uganda, Africa. Type in British 

 Museum. 



Color. Hairs throughout on head, neck and body seal brown, 

 with a broad subterminal band of a darkish cream color, and tips black. 

 This gives a checkered appearance to the animal, as on the surface 

 the cream color and black only appear. Arms mostly dark cream 

 color, the black tips of the hairs forming distinct lines on the upper 

 and lower side ; wrists black, as are the hands, with a small patch 

 of tawny on the backs ; legs dark cream color mixed with black, the 

 latter seen mostly on the lower inner side ; feet black ; tail cream 

 color, the hairs being seal brown on basal half, remainder cream 

 color to tip ; upper part of throat, and sides of the head grayish white ; 

 face black. Ex type British Museum. 



Measurements. Total length, 1,400; tail to end of hair, 500; foot, 

 210. Skull : occipito-nasal length, 170 ; Hensel, 158.1 ; zygomatic width, 

 131.1 ; intertemporal width, 60.9; palatal length, 94; median length of 

 nasals, 80; width of braincase, 85.6 ; length of upper molar series, 58.3 ; 

 length of upper canines, 43.1 ; length of mandible, 150; length of lower 

 molar series, 66. Ex type British Museum. 



Two specimens of what I consider the same species, the type 

 and a young animal from Rogoro, are in the British Museum Collec- 

 tion. The type is a very large animal, and the rather unusual distribu- 

 tion of colors serves to make it very conspicuous when placed with 

 other species of the genus. The type was procured by Col. G. Delme- 

 Radcliffe, and the Rogoro example by C. S. Belton, Esq. The facial 

 region equals in length that of the braincase, the rostrum is broad, and 

 the nasals are rounded and raised above the plane of the rostrum; 

 lateral pits large and deep posteriorly ; a small process on the frontal 

 ridge over each orbit near end of nasals, curving downward and 

 inward, and pointed ; teeth large ; upper canines very long and sharply 

 pointed.
