(C) A NEW "LEAF monkey" FEOM THE ShAN StATFS. 



By R. C. Wroughton. 



When writing the Shan States Keport (J. B. N. H. S., Vol. 

 XXII., p. 715, 1914) Miss Ryley recorded the local leaf monkey 

 as P. ithayrei. In the Mt. Popa Report when true phayrei had been 

 received, I suggested (Vol. XXIII, pp. 464-465, 1915) that the 

 Shan States animal might be harhei. 



Three descriptions of harhei are available, viz. — Bh^th's original 

 description (J. A. S.B., xvi., p. 734, 1847), another in his Cata- 

 logue of the Mammalia in the Museum of the Asiatic Society 

 (p. 14, 1863), and a third by Anderson (Ind. Mus. Cat., i., p. 48, 

 1811). Both Blyth and Anderson note that the shoulders and fore- 

 limbs are pale (" silvered," " greyish brown "), but neither of them 

 notices the radiation of the hair from a single central point on the 

 forehead. I M'rote to Dr. Annandale of the Indian ]\Iuseum, 

 Calcutta, who replied that the type of harhei " is an old specimen 

 which has been mounted and exhibited for the last 70 j^ears. There 

 is no crest on the top of the beast's head and no definite whorl of 

 hair." Dr. Annandale had the head photographed and most kindl}" 

 sent me a cop}- which is here reproduced.
