Troglodytes niger. E. H. Giglioli attempts to show in a very long paper, 
entitled Stiidii craniologici sui Cimpanz^ ” (Ann. Mus. Oiv. Genov, iii. 
pp. 66-179, pis. 7 & 8), that the Central-African Chimpanzee observed by 
Issel, Schweinfurth, and others [see Zool. Rec. vii. p. 7] is specifically distinct 
from that of the west coast, naming it T. schweinfurthi. Besides the example 
described by Issel, the author had one other skull, also four or five skulls of 
the west-coast Chimpanzee for compaiison. [The difierences pointed out by 
the author are of less significance than those observed between specimens 
from the west coast.] ‘
