The general appearance of this species is that of a reddish monkey 

 quite different in coloring from its paler relatives of the L. centralis 

 style. It is nearer to the animal from Portuguese East Africa, which 

 has been accepted as representing L. rufoviridis, but differs from that 

 species in its pinkish buff whiskers, throat and general color of the 

 under parts, and in its jet black hands and feet. A number of speci- 

 mens from Fort Hall are in the British Museum. 



Unfortunately there are no skulls of the L. c. johnstoni specimens, 

 so I can make no comparison with them and that of the present species.
