78 MAMMALIA. 



upper lip and ehiu black ; tte upper milk canines are pre- 

 sent, two permanent molars appearing j upper incisors large ; 

 a swelling over the region of the upper canines. Presented 

 by W. Rutledge, Esq., '22nd Februa-ry 1880. 



c. The skin, skull, and bones of the trunk of an adolescent 

 male : wholly black, with the exception of the back of the 

 thighs, which are brownish grey ,• throat grey, and a tinge 

 of grey down the inner aspect of the forearms and partially 

 on the chest ; a tendency to form a crest ; face black ; taU 

 rudimentary. 



The skull is distinguished by considerable rotundity and 

 breadth across the orbits. M. ocreatus and M. maurus 

 have a narrow interorbital region, and the facial (maxillary) 

 portion of the skull is not raised over the canines as in 

 C. niger ; moreover, this species has a tendency to flattening 

 of the suborbital maxillary area — a feature which is charac- 

 teristic of the skull of Cynopitheciis niger. The latter species, 

 however, has a peculiar feature in the great narrowness across 

 its orbits, the combined breadth of which is much less than the 

 malar region : neither M. ocreatus nor M. maurus exhibits this 

 feature. The nasals of this species are much smaller than those 

 of M. maurus. Presented by the Zoological Gardens, 2oth 

 August 1878.
