 Berlin Museum. Skull: total length, 154; occipito-nasal length, 76.2; 

 Hensel, 54.1 ; zygomatic width, 52.7; intertemporal width, 38.4; median 

 length of nasals, 12.9 ; length of upper molar series, 23.3 ; length of

The Simla petaurista as figured and described by Schreber, (1. c.) 

 is a very dark almost black monkey, speckled with yellowish, and 

 came from Guinea. The characters here given have been overlooked 

 by Authors, and quite another animal, the one from the Gold Coast, 

 has always borne the name given by Schreber. Herr Matschie has 

 clearly shown this fact in his paper, and named the petaurista Auct., a 

 much lighter animal, L. fantiensis. Guinea specimens of this Guenon 

 also in the Berlin Museum amply demonstrate the differences existing 

 between the two forms, and the correctness of Schreber's plate.
