begins at the middle af tlie tail and increases distally, so that the 

 tip is entirely light grey. 



The spécimen from Kivu is probably identical with Colobus 

 Adolfi-Friderici Matschie, but it belongs undoiibtedly to the 

 C. palliatus séries.

Thèse spécimens agrée with the original description with regard 

 to the extension of the white mantle to the back of the upper anns 

 and the présence of a narrow white perineal band. From the more 

 Southern Sandbcrgi Lônnb. thev differ in having less white on the 

 tail, considerablv less than the distal half. With regard to Mats-

chie's expression about Weynsi : « Die Stirnbinde ist nur an den 

 Seiten vorhanden, dort aber sehr deutlich », may be said concerning 

 the présent spécimens (except the type), that the white, at least in 

 sonie of them. projects somewhat from the sides in a point more 

 or less above the eye. This is however, not always easy to see and 

 evidently variable. In none of the spécimens it is so well visible 

 as in the type. The origin of the latter is not exactly known. It is 

 possible therefore, that it is from sAme other tract of Lower Congo, 

 and the identification above is accordingly somewhat hypothetical. 

 C. p. Weynst is to judge from the présent material, if correctly 

 identified, an inhabitant of the district of Lake Leopold II to the 

 north of Kasai river. 



Colobus palliatus angolensis Sclater. 



Kisantu, between Léopoldville and Matadi (Goossens), n° 735. 



Matschie has regarded this spécimen as a typical angolensis. It 

 difFers onlv little from the spécimens from the district of Lake 

 Leopold II.
