l6 LLOVDS NATURAL HISTORY. 



Male. — Skull smaller, shorter, and more globular than that of 

 M. nemestrlmis^ which is its nearest ally ; muzzle less projecting ; 

 little or no depression of the nose between the eyes; supra-orbital 

 ridges prominent ; orbits large, approximated ; skull of the 

 female feebler in all respects. 



Distribution. — Southern portion of Arracan, and the valley of 

 the Irawady in Upper Burmah. The Andaman Islands, whence 

 Mr. Bartlett described a specimen as a new species, was an 

 erroneous habitat, as the specimen had been introduced there 

 from Burmah. 



Habits. — Very little is known of this rare species in its native 

 state. In captivity the females and the males, when young, 

 become very tame, and are capable of being taught various per- 

 formances. A female which lived in the Zoological Society's 

 Gardens in 1869 was educated by the blue-jackets of one of 

 Her Majesty's ships, who had obtained her at the Andaman 

 Islands, and kept her on board for three or four years before 

 she was sent to the Gardens. " Jenny " exhibited an extra- 

 ordinary degree of cleverness, as Mr. Bartlett, the Superinten- 

 dent, has narrated in Laiid a?id Water. She could drink out 

 of a bottle and smoke a pipe. She walked upright on her hind 

 legs with remarkable facility, and with much less effort than 

 even the performing Monkeys of the London streets. When 

 in an erect attitude she would carry things.
