brown » (Oberthur, 334 — sometimes even « blood red brown » 

 337.4, in a voung), nape and iipper back similar or somewhat 

 niixed vvith black, then follows on the lower back brighter red 

 colours as « tan » (317.4), « dull brickred » r330.4) etc., shading 

 through ail shades of « neutral orange » (419.4 — 1) towards the 

 lower side and inside of thighs. From its relatives further north 

 east it diflfers especially in having the outside of the legs red. It has 

 also much thinner fur than f. i. Ellioti (about 4-5 cm. on the back). 

 Its nearest relative mav be C. nigriiiiaims Trouessart, but the 

 latter diiïers in having the tail tufted and in having as well feet as 

 hands broadly black. C. Lovizettii has no tailtuft, and, although 

 the hands as a rule are more or less blackish, the feet are onlv 

 partlv blackish in four of the présent spécimens, and bv far not to 

 such an extent as Trouessart's figure of C. nigrinianus indicates 

 for that form. The latter is from Liranga on the opposite side of 

 Congo river, whereas C. Lovizettii evidently is an inhabitant of 

 the district of Lake Leopold II, north of Kasai river and east 

 of Congo. That it never was found south of the river first men- 

 tioned, has expressively been ascertained bv the coUector.

Ti the north of Belgian Congo appears to live a Colobus of 

 rather aberrant tvpe, which I venture to describe under the above 

 name. As the tvpe I sélect a spécimen (n° 1291) from Sili in the 

 « district du Haut-Uele ». 



It has a narrow bhick brow band with the hairs directed more or 

 less towards the sides from the middle and extending towards 

 the ear. On the sides this band graduallv blends with the grey 

 whiskers, which are not verv long and do not conceal the ears. 

 Above and behind the latter a tuft of somewhat lengthened hairs 

 is conspicuous, dark in front, Hght behind. The upper parts ot the 

 head and nape are « minerai brown » (Oberthur 339.1 and 339.2).
