  The 
  type 
  specimen 
  is 
  a 
  young 
  female, 
  with 
  the 
  last 
  two 
  molars 
  

   in 
  each 
  jaw 
  not 
  having 
  yet 
  made 
  their 
  appearance. 
  The 
  coloring 
  of 
  the 
  

   fur 
  and 
  its 
  distribution 
  is 
  the 
  same 
  in 
  both 
  adult 
  and 
  young, 
  as 
  may 
  be 
  

   gathered 
  from 
  the 
  few 
  specimens 
  of 
  different 
  ages 
  obtained 
  thus 
  far, 
  

   but 
  I 
  have 
  not 
  seen 
  an 
  old 
  individual. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  handsome 
  monkey 
  and 
  

   a 
  very 
  distinct 
  species.

  Color. 
  Very 
  like 
  L. 
  stairsi, 
  but 
  the 
  red 
  on 
  the 
  head 
  is 
  confined 
  to 
  

   a 
  patch 
  above 
  and 
  in 
  front 
  of 
  the 
  ear; 
  upper 
  parts 
  and 
  flanks 
  are 
  

   speckled 
  with 
  black 
  and 
  yellow 
  ; 
  unicolor 
  hairs 
  only 
  appearing 
  with 
  the 
  

   red 
  ones 
  at 
  the 
  root 
  of 
  the 
  tail, 
  where 
  this 
  color 
  extends 
  quite 
  across 
  

   the 
  rump, 
  and 
  on 
  to 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  tail 
  ; 
  the 
  arms 
  are 
  black, 
  speckled 
  

   with 
  white 
  on 
  outer 
  side, 
  inner 
  side 
  grayish 
  white 
  only 
  on 
  forearms 
  

   to 
  just 
  below 
  elbows; 
  hands 
  black; 
  legs 
  grizzled 
  iron 
  gray, 
  thus 
  

   differing 
  from 
  the 
  unicolor 
  thighs 
  of 
  L. 
  stairsi. 
  Under 
  parts 
  of 
  body 
  

   and 
  thighs 
  grayish 
  white; 
  tail, 
  (only 
  about 
  nine 
  inches 
  remaining
