1908.] MAMMALS FROM ZAMBESIA. 537 



" Everywhere the reldt is well bushed, amounting to thickets 

 in most parts, with a fair amount of larger timber, mainly mo'pani 

 and ' cream-of-tartar,' the latter being very plentiful and growing 

 to an enormous size. 



" Excej)t in favourable situations, grass does not seem to grow 

 freely, and the cereal crops of the natives are not neai-ly so good 

 as in many districts to the southward, although tomatoes, onions, 

 &c. are grown freely on the banks and in the beds of the rivers. 



" The natives are mixed local tribes variously known as 

 IS^yungwis, Tongas, Barnes, &c. When not too lazy they give 

 much of their time to the capture of small buck, cats, squirrels, 

 rats, &c., the majority of which they utilize for food. 



" The climate cannot be considered healthy, even in the diy 

 season, and the temperature is generally high during the day and 

 makes good collecting difficult. 



" In the five weeks I spent in the Mazoe camp the average 

 temperature was 95°, 104° beina' the hi^'hest recorded; no rain 

 fell." 



1. Cercopithecus pygerythrus rufoviridis Is. Geoff. 

 $. 2003. 



This specimen, a young female, is undoubtedly the same form 

 as those from Gorongoza mentioned in our last paper, and both 

 are almost certainly Cercopithecus Jiavidus of Peters. We follow 

 Mr. Pocock * in holding that that species is a synonym of G. mfo- 

 viridis, and accordingly adoj^t this name for the specimens from 

 Gorongoza and Tette. Mr. Pocock has pointed out (I.e.) that the 

 specimens obtained by Mr. Grant in the Knysn'a, Zululand, and 

 E. Transvaal are all typical C. 2)i/f/6rythrus Cuv., and to these we 

 may add the specimens received from Inhambane and Beii'a 

 since the date of Mr. Pocock's paper. All former identifications 

 in the pi-esent series of papers must be modified accordingly. 



" Native name, ' Pusi.' 



" Only two troops of this monkey Avere seen and they were 

 exceedingly wild. 



" Generally frequenting the trees along the river-banks and 

 observed drinking in the middle of the afternoon." — C. H. B. G.

Topotypes of species. 



These specimens, which rejDresent ^' Otolicnus mossambicus," 

 confirm what we have stated in desci-ibing G. granti in a former 

 paper t, namely, that this lattei- species is readily recognizable 

 on account of its long muzzle. 



From G. inoholi Sm., to which it is no doubt closely allied, 

 G. mossambicus is separated by its smaller size (greatest length
