  This 
  race, 
  while 
  closely 
  resembling 
  L. 
  albigularis 
  in 
  its 
  general 
  

   style 
  of 
  coloration, 
  is 
  readily 
  distinguished 
  from 
  that 
  species 
  by 
  the 
  

   reddish 
  orange 
  hairs 
  on 
  root 
  of 
  tail 
  and 
  adjacent 
  parts, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  by 
  

   the 
  unspeckled 
  whitish 
  under 
  parts, 
  and 
  inner 
  side 
  of 
  limbs. 
  

  

  According 
  to 
  Grant 
  as 
  quoted 
  by 
  Thomas 
  (1. 
  c.) 
  this 
  species 
  was 
  

   "very 
  common 
  in 
  the 
  forest 
  of 
  the 
  Pungwe 
  River 
  District, 
  to 
  which 
  

   they 
  are 
  confined, 
  and 
  often 
  observed 
  in 
  very 
  large 
  troops. 
  At 
  first 
  

   they 
  were 
  tame, 
  and 
  specimens 
  were 
  easily 
  obtainable, 
  but 
  they 
  soon 
  

   became 
  wild, 
  and 
  after 
  a 
  few 
  weeks 
  were 
  seldom 
  seen. 
  They 
  live 
  on 
  

   wild 
  fruits, 
  young 
  shoots 
  of 
  trees, 
  etc., 
  and 
  seldom 
  damage 
  the 
  native 
  

   crops."

  Color. 
  "In 
  all 
  the 
  specimens 
  from 
  Kilimandjaro 
  the 
  hairs 
  of 
  the 
  

   head 
  and 
  nape 
  are 
  black 
  and 
  ringed 
  with 
  yellow. 
  In

   stronger

  this
