Skull: greatest length 93:5 ; basal length 61; zygomatic 
breadth 61; breadth of brain-case 51; combined length of 
lower cheek-teeth 25. 
Hab. Callanga, Cuzco, Peru. Alt. 1500 m. 
Type. Old female. B.M. no. 98. 11. 6. 1. Collected 
21st April, 1898, by Herr Otto Garlepp. 
This monkey differs from the true C. flavescens, 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* barbara brunnea, 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. ‘I'ail 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 
G. barbara. 
Dimensions of the type (measured in the flesh) :— 
Head and body 700 millim. ; tail 420; hind foot, s. u. 108, 
e, 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. Forsyth Major to the importance of the characters which distinguish 
that animal from the smaller forms, and the consequent advisability of 
recognizing Gray’s genus Galera. 7 
Dr. Nehring also has admitted the genera Galera and Galictis as 
distinct in his paper on the group in 1886. 
In this same paper he speaks of a “ varietas peruana,” yon 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 see from T'schudi’s description that his animal differs from the 
ordinary form of G. barbara. 
A similarly 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 more than a 
century earlier Molina had given to the Chilian Grison the name of 
“ Mustela quiqu”*.
