 pis. XXXVI, XXXVII. Type Rhinopithecus roxellance A. 

 Milne-Edwards. 



Nasal portion of face depressed; end of nose turned upward; 

 thick ruff surrounds face; humerus longer than radius. 



But four species of this genus are known, all of large size, and of 

 striking coloration. They are inhabitants of northwestern China, 

 Tonkin and eastern Thibet, rare in collections, and of their habits 

 nothing is known. Two of the species, R. roxellan^ and R. bieti 

 were described by A. Milne-Edwards in 1870 and 1898 respectively, 

 and the third R. brelichi by O. Thomas in 1903, and the fourth, R. 

 AVUNCULUS by G. Dollman in the present year. The geographical 

 range of all the species is but imperfectly known.
