Ursine Colobus. 
Colobus Ur sinus , Ogilby, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1835. p. 98. 
„ „ Owen (Anatomy), Proc. Zool. Soc. 1841, p. 84. 
Although the Colobus here figured is considered by many Naturalists to be identical 
with the Full-bottom Monkey of Pennant’s Hist, of Quad. (3rd edit.) vol. i. p. and pi. 212, I still 
think there are sufficient differences to guarantee it a place in the present publication, under its 
more recent appellation. 
The specimen from which the accompanying figure was taken, had been presented, in the 
year 1841, to the Society by the Right Honourable the Earl of Derby, and lived for some time 
in the Menagerie. 
When at Sierra Leone, I saw this specimen, in the possession of Mr. Whitfield, by whom it 
was brought to this country, at which time I made the following notes :—“ Eyes, dark hazel; face 
and hands, black: it was very tame, and extremely fond of being petted : its cry was frequent, 
and seemed fretful, and resembled somewhat a kitten’s mew: it ate bananas, pineapple, ground 
nuts, palm-nuts, and appeared rather partial to butter. It was captured at a place called 
Waterloo.” 
Habitat, Sierra Leone. 
The tree is that of the Jack Fruit (Artocarpus integrifolia) of Dukhun, copied from one 
of Colonel Sykes’ drawings. The parts of fructification, only, are represented in the drawing, 
the fruit being too large for convenient representation.
