species, and wavy, so that it is very like that of a long-haired 

 Angora Goat, Over the shoulders the black hairs are 9 to 11 

 inches in length, isolated ones being found up to 13 inches long. 

 White cheek-tufts long and bushy. Distribution of black and 

 white very much as in C. paUiatus, there being apparently a white 

 superciliary band, although this is cut away entirely in one 

 specimen, and there is only a faint indication of it in the other 

 (the type). In the anal region, however, the white is more 

 extended, for an area from 4 to 6 inches each way below the 

 callosities is either white or grizzled with white, while in C. paUi- 

 atus only a small spot or streak in the middle line is white. The 

 tail differs markedly from that of the allied species by having 

 practically no white tuft at all, for the terminal 6 inches are 

 merely grizzled, more blackish than white, and it is only the hairs 

 at the extreme end (and these are only some 21 inches in length) 

 which are altogether white.

This splendid monkey is probably the Colobus referred to 

 by Scott Elliot (P. Z. S. 1895, p. 341) as seen by him in the 

 Yeria and Msonje valleys, near Butanuka, Euwenzori, but he was 

 not able to obtain a specimen. 



Colobus occidentalis Bochebr. 



5 . Mpanga Forest, September 1900. " Iris light hazel." 

 A beautiful skin, with skull, of this rare species, which is as yet 

 very imperfectly represented in our collections. 



The tail-tuft of this monkey is as well-developed as in 

 Bochebrune's figure, and shows no approximation to the reduction 

 said to be characteristic of C. matschiei Neumann l . 



Colobus bufomitbatus Peters. 



Several specimens from the Buahara Biver, altitude 4000 ft., 

 August 1900. 



" Eyes bright hazel." 



The occurrence in the Uganda Protectorate of this remarkable 

 monkey, not hitherto represented in the Museum collections, is of 

 much interest. It was originally discovered by the German 

 traveller Dr. G. A. Eischer on the Tana Biver, and was described 

 and figured by Dr. Peters 2 . It does not appear to have since 

 been met with, and the present is therefore only its second recorded 

 occurrence. 



So far as Dr. Peters's figure and descriptions enable me to 

 judge, there is no difference at all between the Tana and Buahara 

 specimens. 



Ceecopithecus stuiilmanni Matsch. 



d . Mpanga Eorest, altitude 4000 ft., Sept. 1900. 

 The local representative of G. pinto Gray.
