  Ogilby's 
  Cercopithecus, 
  (Lasiopyga), 
  tantalus 
  was 
  obtained 
  at 
  

   "Liverpool, 
  but 
  its 
  previous 
  origin 
  was 
  unknown." 
  His 
  description 
  

   shows 
  he 
  had 
  a 
  specimen 
  of 
  the 
  green 
  group 
  of 
  the 
  present 
  genus, 
  and 
  

   answers 
  fairly 
  well 
  for 
  the 
  present 
  species, 
  yet, 
  at 
  the 
  same 
  time, 
  it 
  

   cannot 
  be 
  stated 
  with 
  certainty 
  that 
  it 
  was 
  the 
  animal 
  that 
  has 
  been 
  

   called 
  L. 
  tantalus 
  by 
  Authors. 
  However, 
  as 
  his 
  name 
  has 
  been 
  applied 
  

   to 
  this 
  animal 
  from 
  Nigeria 
  and 
  accepted 
  by 
  writers, 
  it 
  seems 
  better 
  to 
  

   continue 
  this 
  practice 
  than 
  to 
  give 
  a 
  new 
  name 
  to 
  the 
  species, 
  as 
  

   causing 
  less 
  confusion 
  probably 
  than 
  if 
  that 
  course 
  were 
  adopted.
