 ing northward into Arracan, and southward to the Straits.

 tack ? 



5. S. AnchiseSj Elliot. Central table-land of the Indian pe- 

 ninsula, and base of the western ghauts. 



6. S. schist aceus J Hodgson. Nepal : the species of the western 

 Himalaya perhaps different.

11. >S^. obscurus, Reid (C aistatus'^. Raffles). Arracan, Tenas- 

 serim, extending southward to the Straits, and probably Sumatra*. 



12. Macacus Silenus, Ceylon, and neighbouring districts of 

 the continent of India.

17. M. radiatus. Peninsula of India. 



18. M. sinicus. Southernmost part of India, and Ceylon f. 



Although I have here followed the usual order of classifying 

 these three groups, I am nevertheless of opinion that the division 

 comprising the Cynocephali, Macaci and Cercopitheci [i. e. the 

 genera with cheek-pouches) should precede that of the Semno- 

 pitheci and Colobi (or the genera with sacculated stomachs) . The 

 facial angle can no longer be considered as a guide to the relative 

 elevation of these animals in the scale of being, now that the 

 adult Orangs, for example, are known to present so very promi- 

 nent a muzzle, while on the other hand, the lowest of all the 

 Simiadce, or the American Marmozets, have the same so incon- 

 siderably developed ; and it would seem that some trivial resem- 

 blance which the Semnotes bear to the Gibbons is now the chief 

 inducement that occasions the former to be still placed next to 

 the group of tailless Apes, and thus to precede the third great 

 division of old-world Monkeys and Baboons, which is character- 



* The Semn. (or Preshytis) nobilis, Gray, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist. 

 1842, vol. X. p. 256, I cannot but regard as requiring confirmation as an in- 

 habitant of India proper. 



f This is doubtless the species noticed by Mrs. Graham in Ceylon, where 

 that lady mentions " swarms of red monkeys playing in the trees overhead.'* 

 (Journal of a Residence in India, p. 104.) I have reason to conclude also 

 that this, and not the Lungoor, is the Rollewai of the Singhalese.
