Cet-cocebus athiops (Linn.)- 

 (Native name, "Tota.") 



Mr. Powell-Cotton got two of this mangabe}'. Little is known about 

 this species, and therefore it does not call for much discussion here.

I. Jarso. 



These Httle monkeys are called " tota " by the Abyssinians. They 

 were seen at Managasha forest, Jarso, and towards Metemmeh. At the 

 first-named place they were very tame, as the natives never interfered 

 with them. Those shot at Jarso were feeding on the berries of a tree. 



Theropiihecus gehida (Riipp.). Mantled Baboon. 

 (Native name, " Gomaro.") • 



There seems to be considerable confusion in connection with this and 

 the following species, and only a large series of all ages from every part 

 of the range of the genus can settle whether there are five species of 

 Theropitheciis or only two. I think, however, that Mr. Powell-Cotton's 

 specimens are referable to typical Th. gelada and Th. obscurus only, 

 though he mentions what may be a third to the east of Lake Tana.

^ The natives are very loose in the name they apply to any large monkey, as often as 

 not calhng them promiscuously "jingero," though, strictly speaking, that is the 

 common native name of the ChxropWiecus dogiiera. They also called Hamadryas 

 hamadiyas indiflferently " gilada " or "gomaro," but the former only is correct, while 

 the "gomaro" is Theropitkems obscurus.
