Three exam))les of this remarkable monkey were procured 

 by Sir H. II. Johnston (one adult and two young) on the 

 east side of Mount lluwenzori at an altitude of 4000 feet. 

 It is evidently closely allied to C. rufomitratits from the 

 coast, but exhibits quite sufficient differences in colour and 

 markings to entitle it to a distinctive rank. As the species 

 was not seen by the members of the Ruwenzori Expedition, 

 lately returned to England, it must be considered as rare 

 even in its own district. 



XXIX. — On Mammals from Northern Persia, presented to the 

 National Museum hy Col. A. C. Bailward. By Oldfield 

 Thomas, F.R.S. 



In 1905 Col. A. C. Bailward made a shooting-trip across 

 Persia, taking with him Mr. R. B. Woosnam to pay special 

 attention to the collecting of natural history specimens, and 

 he then obtained the series of mammals of which I gave aa 

 account during the succeeding winter*. 



During the present year Col. Bailward has again been to 

 Persia, taking Mr. Woosnam with him, but this time to the 

 nortliern part of the country, between Teheran and the 

 Caspian, and there Mr. Woosnam has collected the specimens 

 enumerated below. Few in number as they are, for the trip 

 was quite a short one, they include no less than five new 

 forms, while all of them are most valuable accessions to the 

 Museum, which had previously possessed almost nothing from 

 that region. We thus have reason to be most grateful to 

 Col. Bailward for taking advantage of his trip to increase our 

 National Ci llcctions in a region as yet so poorly represented 

 in the Museum ; and the marked success of the present 

 expedition should encourage him and others to repeat the 

 experiment.
