 brownish black below, with the neck and cheeks lighter

 black on inner, but indistinct on outer side ; dorsal crest 

 with less white than in pieties, and its continuation as a dark 

 line on neck broader; white spots on haunches fewer but

The so-called T. s. punctaius, founded on a female skin 

 in the Senckenberg Museum from Duma, Ubangui Valley, 

 is stated to differ from siyiiatus, by its shorter coat, larger 

 spots, and yellowish rusty brown colour above, which 

 becomes lighter on shoulders, thighs, and legs, and orange- 

 buff on under-parts ; neck lighter buff, slightly speckled with

 patch on withers ; a white spot below each eye; dark line on 

 middle of face narrow, not interrupted on forehead. Its 

 claim to distinction is more than doubtful.
