  Two 
  specimens 
  of 
  what 
  I 
  consider 
  the 
  same 
  species, 
  the 
  type 
  

   and 
  a 
  young 
  animal 
  from 
  Rogoro, 
  are 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum 
  Collec- 
  

   tion. 
  The 
  type 
  is 
  a 
  very 
  large 
  animal, 
  and 
  the 
  rather 
  unusual 
  distribu- 
  

   tion 
  of 
  colors 
  serves 
  to 
  make 
  it 
  very 
  conspicuous 
  when 
  placed 
  with 
  

   other 
  species 
  of 
  the 
  genus. 
  The 
  type 
  was 
  procured 
  by 
  Col. 
  G. 
  Delme- 
  

   Radcliffe, 
  and 
  the 
  Rogoro 
  example 
  by 
  C. 
  S. 
  Belton, 
  Esq. 
  The 
  facial 
  

   region 
  equals 
  in 
  length 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  braincase, 
  the 
  rostrum 
  is 
  broad, 
  and 
  

   the 
  nasals 
  are 
  rounded 
  and 
  raised 
  above 
  the 
  plane 
  of 
  the 
  rostrum; 
  

   lateral 
  pits 
  large 
  and 
  deep 
  posteriorly 
  ; 
  a 
  small 
  process 
  on 
  the 
  frontal 
  

   ridge 
  over 
  each 
  orbit 
  near 
  end 
  of 
  nasals, 
  curving 
  downward 
  and 
  

   inward, 
  and 
  pointed 
  ; 
  teeth 
  large 
  ; 
  upper 
  canines 
  very 
  long 
  and 
  sharply 
  

   pointed.
