Several adults in British Museum received after publication of thespecies from the same locality as type. This type is a young animalprobably half grown. The hair or down is very silky, and of a uniformpale cinnamon color, clear cinnamon on the head and dorsal ears are small, black, naked at the tips which are visible, the basalportion being hidden in the fur; hands and feet are small, the latterwell covered with hair and the nails of a yellowish white Arctocebus calabarensis.
