222 ANTHROPOID APES. 



The face, hands, and feet are of a dark reddish flesh- 

 colour, or rarely of a blackish brown or speckled 

 general colour. The hair is either wholly black or 

 black shot with reddish brown. Second, Another 

 variety, bam or mandjaruma {Troglodytes niger 

 varietas Schweinfurthii GigUoli). The head of this 

 animal is somewhat long, the supra-orbital arches are 

 only slightly developed, the nose is wide, and the 

 upper lip rather low in comparison with the other 

 variety; the ears are somewhat smaller, and the face is 

 more prognathous, with an angle of 60 degrees. The 

 limbs of this variety are slenderer, yet still strongly 

 •developed. The skin is of a dark reddish flesh- 

 colour in youth, and with the increase of physical 

 development it becomes a reddish brown, dark 

 brown, or blackish. The hairy coat is black, shot 

 with reddish or dark brown, or sometimes of a 

 reddish brown colour, tipped with tawny or yellowish 

 grey, especially on the back. To this variety the 

 mandjaruma belongs, of which an illustration is given 

 by von Issel, and also the portrait taken from life 

 of Paulina of Loango, which is given in my osteolo- 

 gical work on the gorilla,* as well as Troglodytes 

 Aubryi (?), and similar animals, of which I have 

 given illustrations in the Arehiv. fur Anatomie.^ 



The question might now be raised whether we 

 may assume that there is any distinct species of 

 anthropoids intermediate between the gorilla and 

 the chimpanzee. As such, we may perhaps regard 



* Ber Gorilla, vi. p. 25. The inscription to this fine out errone- 

 ously gives this as a male instead of a female specimen,
