1903. ] MR, OLDFIELD THOMAS ON A NEW ANTELOPE. 225 
yellow with black tips; nape between the yellowish crown and the 
white wither-patch pale brownish with black tips to the hairs; 
neck both on sides and below blackish grey, the hairs dull whitish 
basally, with black ends. Ears white, markedly contrasting with 
the head. Front of shoulders and inner aspect of forearms deep 
yellow, which shades into whitish along the under aspect of the 
latter, and contrasts markedly with the dark slaty of the outer 
side of the forearm, this colour darkening to black on the wrists. 
(The hands are lost in the specimen, but are presumably black.) 
Hind limbs light greyish, more or less suffused with yellow behind 
and blackish in front, but the colour contrasts are not sharp and 
defined as they are in the other species. Belly uniformly grey 
(about grey No. 5 of Ridgway). Tail very long, conspicuously 
longer than in the other species, its hairs, which average about 
40 mm. in length, curiously curved on each side downwards and 
away from the centre line, along which there is an irregular 
parting; in colour the tail is black throughout except at the 
extreme tip, where there is a small white pencil; on each side of 
its base there is a small yellow patch, outside of which there is a 
blackish line passing round across the anal region: but owing to 
the condition of the skin, the exact situation of these lines and 
patches is not quite certain. 
Approximate dimensions of the type, measured on the skin, 
which has been made up from a flat native pelt :—Head and 
body 730 mm., tail 970 (with hairs 1040). 
Habitat. Mr. Brelich states that, ‘as far as I could gather, this 
monkey inhabits a range of mountains known as the Van Gin 
Shan Range, about 108° E., 29° N., in the north of the province 
of Kwei-chow, Central China.” 
Type. Female. B. M. No. 3.3.14.1. Collected and presented 
by Henry Brelich, Esq. 
This magnificent Monkey, one of the largest in the world apart 
from the anthropoids, is a very remarkable discovery, and one on 
which we may congratulate Mr. Brelich, who obtained and sent 
it to the Museum on the suggestion of Mr. Herbert Ingram, 
himself a frequent contributor to the National collections. 
As may be seen from the above description and from the figure 
(Pl. XXI.), the differences between this monkey and its only near 
allies are so numerous as to render any detailed comparison un- 
necessary. Good figures have been given of &. roxellance by 
Milne-Edwards'! and De Winton’, and of 2&. bieti by Milne- 
Edwards and Pousargues’. 
Mr. Oldfield Thomas also exhibited adult and young examples 
of a Bush Duiker, which had been sent to the British Museum 
by Mr. F. W. Isaac, from Eldoma Ravine, British East Africa,
