  The 
  type 
  of 
  C.

  Ogilby, 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  Collection 
  of 
  the 
  British 
  

   Museum 
  and 
  has 
  been 
  examined. 
  It 
  is 
  somewhat 
  lighter 
  than 
  typical 
  

   P. 
  papio 
  but 
  not 
  so 
  red, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  probable 
  that 
  the 
  specimen 
  may 
  have 
  

   faded 
  somewhat 
  in 
  the 
  sixty 
  years 
  it 
  has 
  been 
  in 
  the 
  Museum. 
  There 
  

   is 
  nothing 
  in 
  its 
  coloration 
  to 
  warrant 
  its 
  separation 
  from 
  typical 
  P. 
  

  

  PAPIO. 
  

  

  The 
  type 
  of 
  P. 
  rubescens 
  Temm., 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  Leyden 
  Museum. 
  It 
  is 
  

   an 
  immature 
  animal 
  of 
  a 
  paler 
  or 
  more 
  rusty 
  red 
  than 
  P. 
  papio 
  

   (Desm.), 
  the 
  hairs 
  on 
  the 
  shoulders 
  and 
  back 
  are 
  very 
  long 
  and 
  barred 
  

   with 
  black, 
  while 
  the 
  cheeks 
  are 
  covered 
  with 
  white 
  hairs. 
  Another 
  

   specimen, 
  also 
  young, 
  from 
  the 
  Gold 
  Coast, 
  and 
  labelled 
  P. 
  rubescens, 
  

   is 
  much 
  darker, 
  more 
  the 
  color 
  of 
  P. 
  papio. 
  In 
  view 
  of 
  their 
  

   immaturity, 
  the 
  dissimilarity 
  in 
  color 
  between 
  the 
  specimens, 
  and 
  their 
  

   locality 
  being 
  the 
  same 
  as 
  P. 
  papio, 
  I 
  should 
  refer 
  these 
  examples 
  to 
  

   that 
  species, 
  as 
  they 
  present 
  no 
  characters 
  that 
  would 
  separate 
  them 
  

   from 
  it. 
  

  

  The 
  type 
  of 
  C. 
  olivaceus 
  I. 
  Geoffroy, 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  Paris 
  Museum 
  and 
  

   the 
  following 
  is 
  a 
  description 
  of 
  it. 
  

  

  Color. 
  Entire 
  body 
  and 
  hind 
  limbs 
  mixed 
  blackish 
  brown 
  and 
  

   tawny 
  ochraceous; 
  the 
  hairs 
  with 
  a 
  strong 
  reddish 
  tinge, 
  being 
  dark 
  

   brown 
  at 
  base, 
  and 
  ringed 
  with 
  black 
  and 
  tawny 
  ochraceous 
  ; 
  top 
  of 
  

   head 
  yellowish
