APPENDIX III.— MAMMALS 



Ccrcocebus cethiops (Linn.)- 

 (Native name, "Tota.") 



Mr. I'owcU-Cotton got two of this mangabey. Little is known about 

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

These little monkeys are called " lota " 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. 



Tlicropithecus gelada {^\\\)'^.). 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 pan 

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

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

 specimens are referable to typical 77/. i^clnda and 77;. ohsiurus onl}-, 

 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 calling them promiscuously "jingero," though, strictly speaking, that is the 

 common native name of the Chizropithecus doguera. They also called Hamadryai 

 hamadryas indifferently "gilada" or "gomaro," but the former only is correct, while 

 the "gomaro" is Theropithecus obscurus.
