The Macaques are distributed throughout India, and as far north 

 as Cashmere and Thibet, and south to the Island of Ceylon ; also on the

 west and south coast ; islands in South China Sea ; in the Anamba and

It will thus be seen that the members of Pithecus are dispersed 

 over a very wide area, and, as is to be expected, the island forms differ 

 very considerably from each other. If they were dwellers on the
