THE KILIMA-NJARO EXPEDITION . 
[3.] Cynocephalus babouin. 
On Kilima-njaro up to 5000 feet, and in and near Taveita. 
[4.] Cercopithecus albicularis. 
In and near Taveita. 
[5.] Cercopithecus Lalandii. 
In and near Taveita and along River Lumi. 
[6.] Cercopithecus griseo-viridis. 
On Kilima-njaro up to 7000 or 8000 feet, and everywhere near 
water in the plains below. Naturally the commonest monkey to he 
seen. 
7. Cercopithecus pygerythrus, Geoffr. 
a, b. Mosi, on the south side of the mountain, 5000 feet, June to 
August. 
Yery common in the cultivated gardens round the village, and in 
the forests lower down at Taveita. These monkeys are exceedingly 
familiar and mischievous, coming into the gardens to steal fruit, &c., 
and are entirely without any fear of man. 
8. Colobus guereza, Rupp., var. caudatus , var. nov. 
a. Useri, N.E. flank of mountain, 3000 feet, end of October. 
Yery common all round the base of Kilima-njaro. 
The specimen brought, like two or three beautiful skins obtained 
by Mr. Thomson in the same neighbourhood, belongs to a peculiar race 
or variety apparently restricted to this region, and characterized by 
having the white brush of the tail very much larger and finer than is 
the case in the true Abyssinian C. guereza. In the latter animal the 
proximal 12 to 16 inches of the tail is short-haired and quite black, 
only the terminal 8 to 12 inches being white and tufted, and the white 
mantle hanging down from the body hides only about one-third of the 
black part of the tail. In the Kilima-njaro race, however, only some 
3 or 4 inches of the base of the tail are black, and the remainder 
(with the hairs about 20 or 21 inches) is developed into a magnificent 
white brush, of which individual hairs are from 7 to 9 inches in length. 
The hairs of the white body-mantle, moreover, entirely cover the black 
at the base of the tail, the white of the latter and of the mantle being 
quite continuous. 
In addition to this race, however, the true Guereza is also found in 
the neighbourhood of Kilima-njaro, as the mantle of the lowland Masai 
warrior, of whom a drawing is given in Chapter XIX., is made of the 
skin of this animal, but this is, of course, a rather vague indication of 
the original locality of the specimen. Mr. Johnston tells me that the 
natives clearly distinguish the two races, and that the white-tailed form 
is, at least in the Kilima-njaro district, a more strictly mountain animal 
than the other.
