THE LIVING WORLD. 
The Bear Colobus ( Colobus ursznus) is small in size and prevailingly black 
in color; its head, cheeks and chin are surrounded by long, white hair, which 
reappears on the thighs, and on the tail, which, white throughout its whole 
length, terminates in an abundant tuft. 
The Black Colobus ( Colobus satanas ) is dressed throughout in glossy black, 
and its black crest and whiskers add to the uncanniness which has suggested 
its being named from its impish or demon-like appearance ; it wears a long, thick, 
pendent, yellow mane. 
The Angola Colobus 
(1 Colobus angolensis) is, like 
the rest of its family, very 
handsomely apparelled. It 
is clothed in a brilliant, 
short, black fur, and begin¬ 
ning with a narrow line at 
the base of the forehead, 
short, white hair covers the 
cheeks, neck and fore part 
of the body, and after 
passing the shoulders, 
grows into long, pendant, 
silken fringe, hanging from 
the sides. The tail termi¬ 
nates in a large, silvery 
plume. The gleam of this 
silvery sheen as the animal 
leaps from bough to bough 
is exceedingly beautiful. 
The Zanzibar Colo¬ 
bus ( Colobus kirkii ) is 
white beneath, ruddy above, 
and black on the back of 
the neck and on its legs. 
Its hair seems to -form a fur 
cap for the top of its head. 
The Bay-colored Col¬ 
obus ( Colobus ferrugineus ) 
belongs to Sierre Leone, 
parti-colorrd colobus (Colobusguerza). and is distinguished only 
. for its color. 
The Parti-colored Monkey, or Guerza ( Colobus guerza ), is Abyssinian 
in habitat, and the black of its upper parts suddenly changes on the sides to 
an equally pronounced white ; the cheeks, forehead, and the tuft of the tail 
likewise are furnished with a white framework, or are themselves suddenly 
changed to white. 
The Kahau, or Proboscis Monkey (Presbytes laureatus) is Bornean, and 
has a wealth of nose, which resembles a proboscis, from which characteristic the 
animal takes its name. It is gregarious and very noisy, exchanging the ordinary 
chattering for a most unmistakable howling. It is of a rich chestnut color,
