244 Sir T. S. Raffles's Descriptive Catalogue 



The hair of the body is short and close. On the top of the 

 head the hairs are black, and diverge horizontally ; those of 

 the eyebrows, which unite above the nose, are also black and 

 are radiated upwards. There is scarcely any beard. The 

 face is naked and flesh-coloured ; the ears, hands and callosi- 

 ties are the same, and the extremity of the prepuce is vermi- 

 lion. The muzzle is somewhat prominent, and the nostrils 

 open anteriorly. The eyes are brown. Ears roundish, obtusely 

 pointed behind. Cheeks pouched. Tail short and tapering, 

 about six inches long, inserted very high, and curling down- 

 wards. The callosities on the nates are large. The thumb is 

 a little longer in proportion to the fingers than in many other 

 species. The last molar has five tubercles. In this species, as 

 in many others of the genus, there is a sac under the os hyoides 

 which communicates with the larynx. 



The natives distinguish three varieties of Bruh : the Bruh 

 setopong, Bruh selasi, and Bruh puti. The Bruh setopong is the 

 largest, the colour on the back verging to olive, and light in 

 front. It is the most docile and intelligent of the whole, and is 

 much prized in consequence. When sent to gather coco-nuts, 

 he selects the ripe ones with great judgment, and pulls no more 

 than he is ordered. The other two are darker coloured, less in- 

 telligent, and more intractable.
