  edge,

  portion 
  speckled 
  buff 
  and 
  tawny 
  ochraceous, 
  with 
  a 
  

   bright 
  buff 
  band 
  crossing 
  at 
  base 
  of

  of

  buff 
  ;

   root 
  speckled, 
  hair 
  brown 
  and 
  black, 
  remainder 
  jet 
  black. 
  Ex 
  specimen 
  

   from 
  the 
  White 
  Nile, 
  (Petherick) 
  ; 
  Schlegel's 
  type 
  of 
  L. 
  neglecta, 
  

   British 
  Museum. 
  

  

  In 
  coloration 
  this 
  type 
  is 
  as 
  different 
  from 
  what 
  is 
  ordinarily 
  con- 
  

   sidered 
  to 
  be 
  L. 
  neglecta 
  as 
  can 
  be 
  conceived. 
  It 
  has 
  none 
  of 
  the 
  

   gray 
  color 
  about 
  it, 
  and 
  the 
  general 
  tint 
  is 
  more 
  brown 
  than 
  any 
  shade 
  

   of 
  gray. 
  Dr. 
  Gray 
  described 
  it 
  as 
  gray 
  brown, 
  but 
  the 
  gray 
  on 
  basal 
  

   part 
  of 
  the 
  hairs 
  does 
  not 
  show 
  through, 
  and 
  affects 
  in 
  no 
  appreciable 
  

   degree 
  the 
  general 
  hue 
  of 
  the 
  pelage. 
  There 
  are 
  examples 
  of 
  so-called 
  

   L. 
  neglecta 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum 
  from 
  the 
  Omo 
  River, 
  the 
  Charada 
  

   forest 
  and 
  Kaffa, 
  north 
  of 
  Lake 
  Rudolf 
  in 
  the 
  east, 
  to 
  the 
  French 
  

   Congo, 
  and 
  the 
  Ja 
  River 
  in 
  Cameroon, 
  but 
  none 
  of 
  them 
  agree 
  in 
  

   color 
  with 
  the 
  type, 
  although 
  they 
  do 
  with 
  each 
  other. 
  Unless 
  a 
  gray 
  

   Lasiopyga 
  is 
  obtained 
  on 
  the 
  White 
  Nile, 
  to 
  prove 
  that 
  the 
  type 
  of 
  L. 
  

   neglecta 
  represents 
  a 
  stage 
  of 
  pelage 
  unknown 
  in 
  so-called 
  neglecta 
  

   from 
  other 
  parts 
  of 
  Africa, 
  it 
  would 
  seem 
  that 
  the 
  only 
  proper 
  way 
  

   will 
  be, 
  in 
  the 
  future, 
  to 
  restrict 
  the 
  name 
  neglecta 
  to 
  this 
  White 
  Nile 
  

   form, 
  and 
  the 
  name 
  for 
  the 
  gray 
  animal 
  would 
  be 
  L. 
  brazz^e, 
  conferred 
  

   by 
  A. 
  Milne-Edwards 
  upon 
  the 
  gray 
  monkey 
  from 
  the 
  Upper 
  Congo, 
  

   for 
  it 
  is 
  impossible 
  to 
  recognize 
  that 
  form 
  from 
  a 
  correct 
  description 
  of 
  

   the 
  type 
  of 
  L. 
  neglecta. 
  Mr. 
  Pocock 
  in 
  his 
  paper 
  on 
  Cercopithecus, 
  

   (Lasiopyga), 
  speaks 
  of 
  this 
  type 
  of 
  Schlegel's 
  among 
  other 
  examples 
  

   from 
  the 
  Omo 
  River 
  and 
  Kaffa, 
  as 
  the 
  "typical 
  form," 
  but 
  nowhere 
  

   refers 
  to 
  it 
  as 
  The 
  type 
  of 
  the 
  species, 
  and 
  by 
  uniting 
  it 
  to 
  the 
  examples 
  

   from 
  other 
  localities, 
  brings 
  together 
  individuals 
  as 
  different 
  in 
  coloring 
  

   as 
  can 
  be 
  imagined. 
  

  

  I 
  have 
  not 
  been 
  able 
  to 
  find 
  any 
  skull 
  belonging 
  to 
  the 
  type. 
  There 
  

   is 
  a 
  young 
  specimen 
  of 
  Lasiopyga 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum, 
  presumably 
  

   from 
  the 
  Welle 
  River, 
  procured 
  by 
  the 
  Alexander 
  and 
  Gosling 
  Expedi- 
  

   tion, 
  which 
  differs 
  in 
  color 
  from 
  all 
  others 
  and 
  may 
  be 
  described 
  as 
  

   follows 
  : 
  

  

  Over 
  each 
  eye 
  is 
  a 
  short 
  black 
  line 
  composed 
  of 
  stiff 
  hairs, 
  and 
  

   between 
  these 
  and 
  over 
  the 
  nose 
  is 
  a 
  cream 
  buff 
  line 
  of 
  short 
  hairs; 
  

   across 
  the 
  forehead 
  is 
  a 
  band, 
  broadest 
  in 
  the 
  middle, 
  ochraceous 
  

   rufous 
  ; 
  rest 
  of 
  head 
  above 
  speckled 
  black 
  and 
  cream 
  buff, 
  base 
  of 
  hairs 
  

   purplish 
  gray 
  ; 
  sides 
  of 
  head 
  and 
  face 
  speckled 
  gray 
  and 
  yellow, 
  the 
  

   latter 
  predominating 
  ; 
  upper 
  parts 
  of 
  body 
  gray, 
  speckled 
  with 
  brown 
  

   and 
  pale 
  yellow 
  ; 
  rump 
  purplish 
  gray 
  ; 
  outer 
  side 
  of 
  thighs 
  purplish 
  gray
