  The 
  type 
  has 
  been 
  in 
  captivity, 
  as 
  Mr. 
  Pocock 
  states 
  (I. 
  c.) 
  and 
  

   lived 
  in 
  the 
  gardens 
  of 
  the 
  Zoological 
  Society 
  for 
  about 
  twenty 
  months. 
  

   It 
  has 
  no 
  definite 
  locality, 
  but 
  is 
  supposed 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  native 
  of 
  the 
  Upper 
  

   Congo. 
  More 
  specimens 
  are 
  necessary 
  before 
  its 
  definite 
  specific 
  status 
  

   can 
  be 
  established.
