It is not at all probable that this specimen is true Tcmslus tarsie?^ 

 but without more material and especially without examples from 

 Java, which is probabl}" the type locality, it is impossible to determine 

 its status. 



It is apparently very diii'erent from Tdfsiii.s hancanus Horstield, '^ 

 which is distinct enough to constitute another genus if Horstield's 

 description and tigures of the teeth represent a normal specimen. 

 Doctor Abbott failed to secure any Tarsiers on Banka. 



MACACA PH-ffiURA (Miller). 



Macaens cynomolgus Willink, Natuurkundig Tijdschrift Nederlandsch-Indie, 

 XLV, p. 175. ♦ 



Two Macaques were shot on Banka and two on Billiton, which do 

 not differ essentially from Macaca phxnra Miller of Nias Island. 

 They are a little darker in color than most of the Nias specimens, but 

 one of the latter is almost an exact match for the Banka-Billiton skins. 

 I can see no real differences in the skulls. The majority of the Nias 

 specimens have slightly larger feet and weigh a little more than the 

 Banka-Billiton ones, but these differences are Avell wathin the limits of 

 individual variation. (See table of measurements of M. phaeura., 

 page 606.)
