rains (as I am informed by F. Skipwith, Esq., judge and magis- 

 trate of Tipperah), and it would appear also to extend sparingly 

 upon the Naga range eastward of Upper Assam. A fine speci- 

 men of an old male has just been presented to the Society by 

 the Rev. J. Barbe, R. C. Missionary, which was shot by him 

 during his recent visit to the wild Kookie tribes of the Chittagong 

 hills ; and the same gentleman had previously favoured us with 

 a more than half-grown male killed in Tipperah. These two 

 differ considerably in shade of colour from the young female for- 

 merly described, having the whiskers, throat, chest and front of 

 the shoulder very deeply tinged with ferruginous; the rest of 

 the under-parts, the legs all round (from the knee), and much of 

 the humerus, less so ; and the head and back of a more dingy 

 ash-gray, being sullied with the prevalent rust-colour. The half- 

 grown female before described has merely a faint tinge of ferru- 

 ginous on its whitish under-parts, and the back and limbs are 

 very delicate pure gray*. In the old male, the tail is of the 

 CO lorn' of the back at base, becoming gradually black, which last 

 occupies the terminal third or more; the fingers and toes are 

 blackish, with an admixture of this on the back of the hands : 

 the long black superciliary hairs spread into two lateral masses 

 (in all three specimens) and are very copious, and between and 

 above them, immediately over the glabella or inter-orbital space, 

 the hairs of the forehead are conspicuously tinged with ferrugi- 

 nous ; those on the crown are not elongated as in the preceding 

 species, nor is there any trace of vertical crest ; but they are a 

 little lengthened beyond those of the occiput, sinciput and tem- 

 ples, which they accordingly impend, and thus is presented some- 

 what the appearance of a small flat cap laid on the top of the head, 

 whence the specific name. The length of fore-arm and hand (of 

 the adult male) to tip of longest finger is above a foot ; knee to 

 heel nine inches ; foot about seven inches ; and length of skull 

 about five inches. 



As a third continental species of this subgroup, I suspect must 

 be brought together the S. cejjhalopterus (Zimmerman), from 

 Ceylon, with which Mr. Martin identifies the lion-tailed mon- 

 key 13, and the jjwyle-faced monkey of Pennant, the Guenon 

 a face pourpre of Buffon, Simia dentata, Shaw, Cercopithecus lati- 

 harbatus of Geoffroy, Kuhl and Desmarest, C. leucoprymnus, Otto, 

 Simia fulvo-grisea, Desmarest, Simia leucoprymna and S. cepha- 

 loptera, Fischer, S. Nestor, Bennett, and S. leucoprymnus and >S^. 

 Nestor, Lesson, and the >S^. Johnii, Fischer, from the Neilgherries, 

 to which Mr. Martin only refers the S. cucullatus, Is. Geoffroy. 



« A half-grown male just received from Mr. Skipwith is intermediate in 

 its colouring.
