Bubi Town, Bantabiri, 500 m. * There would appear to be some error in the inclusion of Colobus polycomus in the Fernando Po fauna. Prof. Bocage puts it in on the authority of Gray, who mentions two of Knapp's skins as belonging to it. But the list of Knapp's specimens given by Waterhouse in 1838 does not include it, and until some confirmation is obtained of its occurrence in the island I think it should be deleted from the list. f It is stated b3r Allen and Thomson (I. c. p. 480) that the specimen described by Gray as Kerivoula poensis was not obtained in Fernando Po, but at Abo on the Niger. It has therefore to be deleted from the island list. X N.pumilus Dobs. Cf. de Winton, Ann. Mag. N. H. (7) vii. p. 38 (1901). |
