In addition to thèse there are some native skins from French 

 Congo, « région de la Saiigha ». One of thèse latter has the cheeks 

 rather rich vellow, in ali the others thev are pale, sometimes 

 almost whitish. 



Cercopithecus L'hoesti Sclater. 



Mawambi(CHRisTY), n^^Sgi ; Congo, n° 2985; Tshoppo(WEYNs), 

 n" 307. 



Of the three spécimens, which mav be regarded as tvpical, one 

 (iuv. n° 307) is from Tshoppo north of Stanlevville, another 

 (Q,n°703) is coUected bv Christy at Mawambi and the third has 

 been delivered from the zoological Garden of Antwerp (n° 2985). 

 The last is not so rich rufous on the back as the Mawambi spéci- 

 men, which mav dépend upon its life in confinement. 



Cercopithecus L'hoesti Thomasi Matschie. 



Kivu (Moulron), n" 1271; Masisi (Bonnevie), n° 3315. 



Of the two spécimens, which I consider as belonging to this 

 « subspecies », one has been collected in the tvpical locality, viz. 

 near Lake Ivivu, the other somewhat further north west, at Masisi. 

 The latter is quite voung, but shows already just as well as the 

 adult from Kivu the white below the eye, so that this characteristic 

 may hold good. 



Otherwise thèse spécimens agrée so closely, that it is impossible 

 to understand why Elliot has regarded L'hoesti and Thomasi not 

 onlv as separate species, but even placed thèse « species » in sepa- 

 rate subgenera ! One of thèse is the peculiar « AUochrocehus ■» with 

 the diagnose : « General colou.i varions, size small. « With regard 

 to the last expression it may be remarked that <". L'hoesti is not 

 very small. The spécimen, which has lived in the zoological Gar- 

 den of Antwerp, had obtained a length of about 130 cm. (half of 

 which comes on the tail), and in natural condition it mav thus
