T^/pe. Old female. B.M. no. 98. 11. 6. 1. Collected 

 21st April, 1808, by Ilerr Otto Garlepp. 



This monkey differs from the true C. jlavescenfi, Gray, by 

 its prominent brown crown-patch, the head of that animal 

 being quite uniform in colour. The exact history of Gray's 

 type has not been preserved, but there seems to be some 

 evidence that it may have been obtained by Wallace on the 

 Rio Negro. This, however, remains to be verified by the 

 capture of further specimens. 



Galera * harhara hrunnea, subsp. n. 



Dull chocolate-brown all over, the head and nape scarcely 

 lighter than the back, though the nape has something of the 

 usual yellowish suffusion. A small yellow neck-spot present. 

 Limbs slightly darker, but not black. Tail coarsely mixed 

 brown and yellow, some of its hairs all brown, some yellow 

 basally and brown terminally, and many (especially for the 

 proximal half below) all yellow. 



Size and cranial characters apparently as in typical 

 O. harhara. 



Dimensions of the type (measured in the flesh) : — 



Head and body 700 millim. ; tail 420; hind foot, s. u. 108, 

 c. u. 116; ear 41. 



Basilar length of skull 109. 



* Since writing my paper on the subspecies of the Tayra (Ann. 

 &!Mag. Nat. Hist. (7) v. p. 145, 1900} my attention has been drawn by 

 Dr. Forsvth Major to the importance of the characters which distinguish 

 that animal from the smaller forms, and the consequent advisability of 

 recogniziug Gray's genus Galera. 



Dr. Isehring also has admitted the genera Galera and Galiciis as 

 distinct in his paper on the group in 1886. 



In this same paper he speaks of a " varietas peruana,'^ von Tschudi ; but 

 I fail to find any such name used by the author of the ' Fauna Peruana.' 

 If it is intended by Dr. Nehring as a new name, I venture to think that 

 it would have been clearer had he said so. However, as said above, I 

 cannot ^ee from Tschudi's description that his animal ditlurs from the 

 ordinary form of G. Barbara. 



A siujilarly ambiguous name is introduced by Dr. Nehring in the 

 simple statement that " besides the typical form of G. vittata, a smaller 

 variety, chilensis, should probably be distinguished." But n)ore than a 

 century earlier Molina had given to the Chilian Grison the name of 

 " Musiela quiqui " ^.
