  Mr. 
  Scott 
  Elliot 
  says 
  of 
  this 
  Monkey 
  (1. 
  c.) 
  : 
  "I 
  brought 
  home 
  

   a 
  specimen 
  of 
  Cercopithecus 
  pluto 
  (a 
  West 
  African 
  form), 
  or 
  of 
  the 
  

   allied 
  C. 
  stuhlmanni. 
  The 
  Wakondja 
  in 
  the 
  Nyamwamba 
  valley, 
  East 
  

   Ruwenzori, 
  make 
  a 
  sort 
  of 
  pouch 
  or 
  pocket 
  of 
  the 
  skin, 
  which 
  they 
  

   carry 
  over 
  the 
  shoulder, 
  so 
  that 
  the 
  animal 
  must 
  be 
  common. 
  This 
  

   Monkey 
  is 
  extremely 
  shy, 
  and 
  usually 
  the 
  only 
  sign 
  of 
  its 
  presence 
  

   is 
  the 
  noise 
  of 
  a 
  tremendous 
  crash 
  amongst 
  the 
  branches 
  a 
  long 
  

   distance 
  away. 
  Once 
  I 
  saw 
  very 
  well 
  a 
  troop 
  of 
  another 
  monkey, 
  

   probably 
  a 
  Cercopithecus 
  also, 
  I 
  was 
  alone, 
  of 
  course, 
  without 
  a 
  gun, 
  

   and 
  sitting 
  down 
  very 
  quietly 
  on 
  a 
  fallen 
  tree. 
  Four 
  or 
  five 
  of 
  the 
  

   older 
  males 
  came 
  quite 
  close 
  after 
  some 
  hesitation. 
  They 
  had 
  white 
  

   marks 
  on 
  the 
  face, 
  simulating 
  eyebrows, 
  moustache 
  and 
  imperial, 
  and 
  

   their 
  expression 
  was 
  melancholy 
  and 
  unhappy."
