  RHINOSTIGMA 
  

  

  heavy 
  whiskers 
  fringing 
  it 
  in 
  on 
  each 
  side. 
  The 
  animal 
  has 
  changed 
  in 
  

   appearance 
  since 
  it 
  was 
  first 
  received, 
  and 
  it 
  cannot 
  be 
  said 
  that 
  it 
  has 
  

   yet 
  fully 
  acquired 
  its 
  permanent 
  dress, 
  and 
  it 
  seems, 
  that 
  at 
  all 
  events, 
  

   there 
  is 
  one 
  species 
  of 
  Guenon-like 
  Monkey 
  whose 
  young 
  does 
  not 
  

   altogether 
  resemble 
  the 
  adult. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  handsome 
  species, 
  and 
  its 
  

   peculiar 
  face 
  markings 
  will 
  always 
  cause 
  it 
  to 
  be 
  conspicuous. 
  I 
  saw 
  

   a 
  second 
  example 
  in 
  the 
  Gardens 
  of 
  the 
  Royal 
  Zoological 
  Society 
  at 
  

   Antwerp. 
  It 
  was 
  smaller 
  than 
  the 
  one 
  in 
  London, 
  but 
  resembled 
  it 
  

   closely 
  in 
  color 
  and 
  markings. 
  The 
  exact 
  habitat 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  is 
  not 
  

   known. 
  Since 
  the 
  above 
  description 
  was 
  taken, 
  the 
  type 
  has 
  died 
  

   in 
  the 
  Zoological 
  Gardens, 
  in 
  Regent's 
  Park, 
  London. 
  The 
  skull 
  shows 
  

   it 
  was 
  a 
  young 
  animal, 
  with 
  the 
  molar 
  series 
  not 
  fully 
  developed. 
  The 
  

   last 
  lower 
  molar 
  on 
  each 
  side 
  was 
  not 
  fully 
  through 
  the 
  gum, 
  but 
  both 
  

   have 
  a 
  posterior 
  fifth 
  cusp. 
  This 
  excludes 
  the 
  species 
  from 
  the 
  genus 
  

   Lasiopyga, 
  while 
  its 
  coloring 
  and 
  peculiar 
  face 
  marking 
  prohibit 
  its 
  

   reception 
  in 
  Cercocebus, 
  but 
  it 
  seems 
  to 
  occupy 
  an 
  intermediate 
  posi- 
  

   tion 
  as 
  a 
  link 
  between 
  the 
  species 
  of 
  these 
  genera. 
  A 
  new 
  genus, 
  

   Rhinostigma, 
  has 
  therefore 
  been 
  created 
  for 
  it.
