distinct and apparent than those on the body. ‘The 
upper lip is furnished with remarkably long, bristly, 
black moustaches, and the tail, which is thickly

fore arms and thighs are darker than other parts of 
the animal, and a large collar of dirty yellowish 
white surrounds the throat, and extends up the sides 
of the neck, occupying the entire space between the 
setting on of the head and the shoulders. Under 
each eye there is a large irregular black patch ; the 
chin is likewise black, and a narrow band of the

neck, bordered by the dirty-white collar just men-

The individual was aged, all the teeth being much
