black, and upper parts sooty black, and there is known to me no species 
whose upper parts are “light smoky blue.” Its relation to C. TEM- 
MINCKI is closer, but the color of the head and upper parts quite 
different. It may be that Ogilby’s type was a young animal which 
had not acquired the full depth of coloring exhibited by the adult, but 
as that is impossible to prove at present, the type having been lost, 
it seems better not to unite it with C. TEMMINCKI, regardless of 
Ogilby’s statement, and await the arrival of sufficient material, by 
which, any doubts now existing can be satisfactorily removed.

Color. Forehead, top of head, neck, and upper parts of body, 
arms to elbows, and thighs black; some white hairs on shoulders 
and upper part of thighs; sides of head to corner of mouth and 
extending upward behind ears, sides of neck, chin, back of ears, 
throat, forearms, legs from the knees, flanks, inner side of limbs, 
and under parts dark ferruginous; tail black at base and on apical 
third, rest dark maroon and black mixed. Ex type British Museum. 
This species was formerly united to C. TEMMINCKI Kuhl, but is 
quite distinct from it. The specimen described is in the Collection 
of the British Museum and was Ogilby’s type of the species. It is 
imperfect, a flat skin, lacking the hands and feet. Another specimen, 
however, No. 4. 6. 2. 2. is complete, and shows that the hands and 
feet are of the same color as the forearms and legs from the knees. 
It is evidently very distinct from C. FERRUGINEUS Shaw, with which it 
has been connected by some writers, Shaw’s species having the back 
“deep bay color, and outer side of limbs black.”
