« insignis » and Kandti, nor in pattern, but Kandti displays a 

 certain amount of individual variation even at the saine locality. 

 Considering ail facts it appears to be the best proceeding to put the 

 name « insignis » as fuUy synonymous vvith Kandti, which has 

 about five years priority. 



C. Kafidti is evidently, as already Pocock (') has made it, a 

 member of the leucampyx-^xo\y^ (^). The consistency ot its long 

 fur with its numerous pale rings as well as the gênerai pattern with 

 the broad brow band in front of the black crown (which Eli.iot 

 appears to believe characteristic to « insignis » alone, but which 

 in fact is présent in ail spécimens of Kandti even the voung ones, 

 although it often is more or less eut away on the native skins, 

 which hitherto most often has been to be seen in the muséums of 

 Europe) and several other features recall vividlv the Icucampyx- 

 series, a représentative of which it is in the Kivu-district. Elliot's 

 attempt to join Kandti with his unnatural and peculiar « subgenus 

 Insignicebus », which otheiwise chiefly includes members of the 

 a/brgu/aris-group, must thus be regarded as very unfortunate.

This fine séries proves that the variation of this species is not 

 very great. The yellow, latéral stripe between the white of the 

 belly and the dark upper parts, is, however, developed in a variable 

 degree, and it may even be almost absent, or only indicated by a 

 faint yellow shading. The tan or ochraceous colours of the hind-
