The area in question is also bare in B. hunteri, albifrons, and 

 2yygargus. In an adult male of Z>. albifrons now living in the 

 Gardens, the gland is usually active and tumid, secreting a 

 substance which passes on to the face, staining the edges of the 

 white blaze yellow. The orifice of the gland is circular and lies 

 in the centre of the smooth glandular swelling. The gland itself,

 inguinal glands ; but the haii- on the skin a short distance away 

 from the one teat on each side was arranged in a whorl.
