I20 LLOYDS NATURAL HISTORY. 



ing the rice-fields, as their food appears to consist exclusively 

 of fruits. They may be met with, according to Mr. Iversen, 

 the discoverer of this species, at all seasons of the year in the 

 same parts of the forest. They hardly ever visit the more 

 open places, but keep to the highest tree-tops, and make most 

 astonishing leaps from one branch to another. Those observed 

 were very shy, and, on being perceived, would seek to hide in 

 the leafy tops of the trees, even leaving their young exposed on 

 the lower branches. The mother carries her young one under 

 her belly. The species was often observed in company with 

 the Siamang {Hylobafes sjmdactyhcs), but not with other Mon- 

 keys.

 size and coloration, but the white is everywhere replaced by

 the back and tail ; shoulders and middle of back darker ; under 

 surface of body and light parts of head cream- colour, instead
