THE LANGURS. I31 



white ; feet and hands very dark brown ; the ears blackish 

 externally, the outer edge and interior dull white, marbled to 

 some extent with livid blackish spots. In an immature 

 individual, barely half-grown, the white of the eyelids, nose, 

 and chin was tinged with dull pink; and at the exterior 

 angle of each orbit was a bare spot of bluish-white, showing 

 very distinctly, owing to its different tinge of colour, the skin 

 of the face otherwise being livid black. With maturity these 

 naked white spots at the angle of the orbits disappear. I kept 

 thio animal alive, intending to bring it home, but it succumbed 

 to the severity of our return passage. It fed on the leaves of 

 sweet potatoes and tapioca, and, although it had been recently 

 captured, in a few days it was very gentle and timid. The 

 breeding-season with these Monkeys is either very prolonged, 

 or is not defined at all, for I obtained them in October, when 

 the rains were beginning, in all stages, from a foetus three inches 

 long, to half-grown specimens."
