The general colour is a decided olive, tending in some animals to brown, the 

 variation in colour being due to the relative development of the yellow and 

 black rings on the hair. The rings occur on the exposed portion of the hair, the 

 hidden part of which is grey. The upper surface of the head, the mesial line of 

 the back, and the upper surface of the tail near its base, are deep brown or even 

 blackish, more especially on the head and over the hind quarters. The extremities 

 pale towards the hands and feet, which are light olive-brown. The outsides of 

 the thighs have an olive-grey tint. Some animals, however, especially the fully 

 grown ones, are almost uniformly coloured deep olive-brown, except on the blackish 

 head and the middle line of the back. The sides of the face and the under surfaces 

 generally are greyish, tending to white ; but on the sides of the face the hair is 

 washed with a dark, almost blackish, grey. The face is nude, of a dusky flesh-colour, 

 which is the tint also pervading the almost naked ears and the callosities. A few 

 scattered hairs occur about the mouth. On the top of the head, especially on the 

 dark-coloured area, the hairs in the adult are short, rather erect and profuse ; on 

 the under parts they are rather sparse, especially on the belly. The muzzle is rather
