Type. Adult male, in British Museum, no. 5. 4. 3. 1. 



Tlie type and a young animal from Rogoro which I con- 

 sider to be of the same species are in the collection of the 

 British Museum. The type is a very large animal, and its 

 rather unusual distribution of colours serves to make it quite 

 conspicuous when placed with other species of the genus. 

 The type was obtained by Col. G. Delme Kadcliftc, and the 

 Uogoro example by C. S. Betton, Esq. The facial region of 

 the skull equals in length that of the brain-case ; the ros- 

 trum is broad and the nasals arc rounded and raised above 

 the plane of the nose ; lateral pits large and deep poste- 

 riorly ; a small process on the frontal ridge over each orbit 

 near posterior end of nasals, curving downward anil inward, 

 and pointed ; teeth large ; upper canines very long and 

 sharply pointed.
