Genl. Char. Similar to P. cephaloloptera but without white on 

 rump and inside of thighs ; larger and darker than its low country 

 relative, and has a rufous tinge on the neck, and with longer and more 

 wavy hair. 



Measurements. "Total length, 2 feet, 7j^ in ; tail 2 ft, 2 in ; foot,

"Usually seen in large numbers jumping on the trees, and when 

 disturbed makes a peculiar short howling noise. One was known to 

 have attacked a cooly on a coffee estate carrying a rice bag. The 

 Malabars eat the flesh of this monkey, and consider it very delicious 

 food, and some Europeans who have tasted it, are of the same opinion." 



I have not seen examples of this species, and am not aware that 

 there is a specimen in any collection.
