LASIOPYGA 379 ringed with black and white, giving a gray appearance speckled with white a narrow white stripe across thigh from knee black patch over knee thigh below white line, and hind part of leg, blackish gray front part of leg grizzled gray a black line bordered outwardly by a yellow- ish white line from shoulders to below elbows; forearms from just above elbows, hands and feet above ankles, black; space around eyes, and upper part of nose black tip of nose, lips, sides of under jaw, chin, beard and throat, white; chest and abdomen black; tail like back at root, rest black. Ex type in Paris Museum. Measurements. Total length, 1,295 .4; tail, 685.8; foot, 171.4. Skull: total length, 116; occipito-nasal length, 97; Hensel, 80; zygo- matic width, 79 intertemporal width, 46 palatal length, 44 breadth of braincase, 61 median length of nasals, 23 length of upper molar series, 27; length of mandible, 81 length of lower molar series, 35. In his paper on Cercopithecus, (Lasiopyga), Mr. Pocock sep- arates a specimen from the French Congo, as L. n. brazziformis, on account of the legs to ankles being a pale grayish green instead of a blackish olive. In the series obtained by Mr. Bates on the River Ja, in Cameroon, and all of which Mr. Pocock states he could not dis- tinguish specifically from his L. neglecta, (L. brazz^e), is an example with legs colored precisely like the one from the French Congo. This last is not sexed, but the one from Cameroon is marked female. It may be possible that the color of the legs may be attributed to sex, but the fact that both styles of coloring were found in individuals taken in the same place in Cameroon, would indicate that the difference in hue in the legs was not a specific character, but must be attributed to some other cause, such as age or sex, or possibly to individual variation. I have therefore placed brazzceformis among the synonyms of L. brazz.e. Mr. Pocock described in the Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1908, p. 158, pi. X, fig. 2, a young animal without locality or history as C. ezrcc, and which differs from L. brazz^e in not having the black on the hinder part of the head, and the outer side of the limbs, hands, and feet not yet jet black. The specimen is so young, and its pelage so affected by captivity (the hair on the loins having all been worn away by the rope or chain that held it, and the tail having lost all its hair, except a little at the root), that it makes a most unsatisfactory type for a distinct form, and it is to be regretted that such specimens should ever be selected to be the unique representative of a new species. At present it can only be surmised what the full grown animal would look like, but probably it might be recognizable from L. brazzcc by having the head

In 1847 ^ gorillas skull was brought to Europe, andserved to establish the existence of the animal. Then, afterfurther details about the interesting ape had been furnished byWilson, Savage, and Ford, it remained for the Frenchman, DuChaillu, and the Englishman, Read, to give the first completedescription of the gorilla, and they confirmed fully Hannos ac-counts about this king of the African jungles. The full-growngoriWs. (Ajit/iropopit/iecus g-ori//a is his Latin name) is an extraor-dinarily strong animal, 1.65 metres in height and from ninety toninety-five centimetres across the shoulders. It has arms or forelegs about 1.08 metres in length, of tremendous muscular develop-ment, and its bite is as fierce as that of the bear. The gorilla livesonly in the swampy jungles of the west coast of Africa, in thevicinity of the equator, about the rivers Gaboon, Muni, and Fer-nandovaz. Here he is to be found in little troops containing oneText Appearing After Image:Gorilla defending his Family from a Leopard, A GORILLA FIGHTING WITH A LEOPARD. 13 or two males and several females with their young. He buildshis camp in the trees and lives on palm-shoots, bananas, leaves,and sprouts, besides various kinds of nuts and fruits. Thegorilla is not in the least afraid of a human being, and is a dan-gerous adversary on account of his enormous strength, his quick-ness, and savagery, especially when he has been wounded withouthaving received a death-blow. At such times his wild angerarouses him to fearful execution. The gorilla throws himself boldly upon the most formidablebeasts of prey in his native jungles, the panther and the leopard,and often overcomes them through the colossal strength of hisfists, aided by his frightful teeth. Thus even the leopard, as inthe battle illustrated in our picture, must succumb to his foe.He has fought with an old male gorilla. The robber has beenon the watch for the young gorillas in the arms of their mother,and the old mNote About Images Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original work.
