Subsp. JOHNSTONi, nov. 



Face jet-black ; a distinct greyish- white or tawny- white brow- 

 band, bi'oadly continuous at the sides with the paler hair on the 

 cheek, which it resembles in colour. Long cheek-hairs in front 

 of and overlying the ears banded and gradually passing in tint 

 dorsally into those of the upper side of the head. Coat long ; 

 general colour of the dorsal siu-face a washed-out tawny grey, 

 not so distinctly speckled as in most other forms, and without 

 any marked greenish-yellow tint, the predominance of the tawny 

 hue and indistinctness of the speckled appearance being due to 

 the relatively great length of the distal pale band on the indi- 

 vidual hairs, which on the fore part of the body considerably 

 exceeds that of the black areas adjacent to it (in a hair of 60 mm. 

 in length, taken from the shoulders, this band measures 13, the 

 proximal black area being 10, and the terminal 8). On the 

 posterior portion of the body the areas are more equal in length, 

 but laterally where the dark speckling dies away the predominance 

 of the pale bands is still more marked. Arms greyer than body ; 

 hands and wrists black above and rather sharply defined from the 

 forearm. Legs also greyer than body, thighs sometimes washed 

 with yellow ; feet blackish, but not so black as hands. Under 

 side dirty white. Tail greyish above, scarcely washed with 

 yellow, becoming quite black at the tip, under side with a large 

 rusty-red basal patch, the rest greyish or greyish rufous to the 

 tip. Some greyish-rufous hairs on the pubic area. 



Measurements of dried skin : — Head and body about 430 mm., 

 tail about 600. 



Log. Moshi : south side of Kilima Njaro, 5000 ft. alt. {Sir H. 

 II. Johnston). 



Two specimens in British Museum. Reg. nos. 85.1.17.1 and 

 85.1.17.2 {type). There is also a young female specimen in the 

 collection of the Society which was received 17.9.91, and died 

 in the Gardens 24.11.92. This specimen, ticketed "Kilima 

 Njaro," is much richer and more yellowish green in colour than 

 those collected by Sir H. H. Johnston, which is possibly due to 

 want of exposure to rain and sun. The coat, however, is thick
