5,000 to 12,000 feet above the sea, this species taking the 

 place in those high altitudes of the lowland S. entelhis. 



HaMts. — Similar to those of the Hanuman. According to 

 Dr. Blanford, Capt. Hutton has observed it near Simla, at 

 11,000 feet, sporting amongst the fir-trees that were loaded 

 with snow-wreaths at the time. "But," writes Dr. Anderson, 

 "there is no evidence that any species of Monkey in the 

 Himalaya is naturally resident at those heights at which snow 

 annually lies, as was supposed by Hodgson, and it is the rarity 

 of their occurrence at these high elevations, and during winter, 

 that has directed so much attention to their hibernal wander- 

 ings. In the summer, they are much more widely distributed 

 than in the winter, when, as a rule, they are driven to lower 

 heights and into the warmer valleys."
