Cobus crawshayi, Sclater, P. Z.S. 1893, p. 723. 
VernacuLtar Name :—Chuzwi of the Awembas and the people of Itawa and Kabwiri 
(Crawshay). 
Rather smaller in size than C. ellipsiprymnus, but generally resembling it, 
the animal being covered with the same harsh, lengthened, thinly spread 
hairs. But the colour is considerably darker, being of a dark iron-grey on 
the dorsal surface, which passes into blackish on the back of the neck, upper 
portion of the limbs, and tail. This colour gets gradually lighter and more 
greyish on the flanks, and passes on each side into whitish on the belly. 
There is no sign of the distinct rump-band which is so clearly marked on 
C. ellipsiprymnus, where it is bordered on each side by dark grey ; but in the 
present species the whole anal disk is white, separated on the dorsal line by 
the dark medial streak which passes into the short black bushy tail. The 
whole length of the flat skin in the present example is about 56 inches, the 
length of the tail about 15 inches. 
Horns hardly distinguishable from those of C. ellipsiprymnus. 'Those of 
type 24 inches in length along the curve, and strongly ringed to near their 
extremities, which are about 11°5 inches apart.
