Abstract
I MUCH regret that in describing, in NATURE for October 26 last, the monkey on which I bestowed the name Cercopithecus crossi, I overlooked the description of C. preussi by Matschie. Dr. Lönnberg, of Stockholm, was kind enough to write me early in November to say that he had “a strong suspicion that your guenon may prove identical with C. preussi,” described in Sitz. Ber. Naturforsch. Freunde Berlin in 1898. Only last week, however, was I able to consult this volume, and there is no doubt that, as Mr. Pocock has now also pointed out, Matschie's name has priority over C. crossi.
