194 PITHECUS 



Geogr. Distr. Tenasserim; range unknown. 



Genl. Char. Hairs on top of head radiating from a central point, 

 tail rudimentary, merely a stump, molar teeth very large. 



Color. Head and upper parts banded with golden red and tipped 

 with black, giving this part a reddish hazel appearance ; sides of body 

 and outer sides of limbs bright red, which may be described as a bright 

 cinnamon, the legs being reddest; hands brownish, darker than fore- 

 arms, hairs banded with ochraceous and black; feet reddish brown 

 darker than legs ; under parts and inner side of limbs paler. Ex type 

 British Museum. 



Anderson describes this specimen in Zool. Exped. Yunnan, as 

 brick red, but it is much too dark for that color, and is more near a 

 rather bright golden cinnamon, darkest on upper parts where the black 

 tips of the hairs are in evidence. The hairs on sides of body and limbs 

 are unicolor without black tips, which produces the brighter hue 

 presented by them. The animal is very small, about two thirds the 

 size of P. SPECiosus F. Cuv., probably only half grown as the skull 

 shows it to be quite young. The molar teeth are very large, unusually 

 so considering the age of the individual, the second molar exceeding 

 in size any in the adult skulls of other species. 



Measurements. Total length, 490; tail, 30; hind foot, 38, (skin). 

 Skull : occipito-nasal length, 90.7 ; Hensel, 73.9 ; zygomatic width, 74.2 ; 

 intertemporal width, 44.4 ; palatal length, 68.8 ; median length of nasals, 

 13.7 ; length of mandible, 74.5. 



The last molars in both jaws not having yet appeared, a measure- 

 ment of the tooth rows cannot be given. Size of second upper molar, 

 .95 x .96. Ex type British Museum. 



An adult female, which I consider to be of this species from 

 Victoria Point, Tenasserim, is in the United States National Museum 

 collected by Dr. W. L. Abbott. Top of head where the hair radiates 

 is golden and yellow and black, the hairs annulated with these colors 

 and tipped with black ; upper parts burnt umber and mummy brown 

 the latter most abundant between shoulders and on rump ; outer side 

 of limbs red, with an orange tinge; under parts, hairs very scanty, 

 reddish. 



Measurements. Total length, 540; tail, 40. Weight, 18->4 lb. 

 Skull: total length, 123.9; occipito-nasal length, 103.9; intertemporal 

 width, 46.3 ; zygomatic width, 82.9 ; palatal length, 45.5 ; length of 

 upper molar series, 35.7 ; length of mandible, 89.5 ; length of lower 

 molar series, 42 ; second upper molar, .91 x .87.
