  The 
  Simia 
  petaurista 
  as 
  figured 
  and 
  described 
  by 
  Schreber, 
  (1. 
  c.) 
  

   is 
  a 
  very 
  dark 
  almost 
  black 
  monkey, 
  speckled 
  with 
  yellowish, 
  and 
  

   came 
  from 
  Guinea. 
  The 
  characters 
  here 
  given 
  have 
  been 
  overlooked 
  

   by 
  Authors, 
  and 
  quite 
  another 
  animal, 
  the 
  one 
  from 
  the 
  Gold 
  Coast, 
  

   has 
  always 
  borne 
  the 
  name 
  given 
  by 
  Schreber. 
  Herr 
  Matschie 
  has 
  

   clearly 
  shown 
  this 
  fact 
  in 
  his 
  paper, 
  and 
  named 
  the 
  petaurista 
  Auct., 
  a 
  

   much 
  lighter 
  animal, 
  L. 
  fantiensis. 
  Guinea 
  specimens 
  of 
  this 
  Guenon 
  

   also 
  in 
  the 
  Berlin 
  Museum 
  amply 
  demonstrate 
  the 
  differences 
  existing 
  

   between 
  the 
  two 
  forms, 
  and 
  the 
  correctness 
  of 
  Schreber's 
  plate.
