callosities cannot be ascertained. The animal is very thickly covered 

 with long loose hairs, to enable it to resist the high altitude it inhabits.

SAINT-JOHN MACAQUE. 



Type locality. North Lena Island, Hong Kong, China. Type in 

 British Museum. 



Geogr. Distr. Known only from the type locality. 



Color. Type specimen, quite a young animal, too young to desig- 

 nate a species upon, is in alcohol in the British Museum, and mindful 

 of the changes spirits not infrequently create, it seems best to give 

 Swinhoe's own description as it appeared when he procured it. The 

 specimen is a female. "Eyes bright hazel ; face and ears flesh-colored ; 

 a black tuft on either cheek like whiskers; skin of nude parts tinted 

 with blue and sparsely grayish brown, covered with hairs of a light 

 gray ; the hairs on the belly buff ; fur of upper parts washed with buff, 

 which is lighter on the head, and brick-dust red around and about the 

 rump. Tail 4}^ inches, blackish, callosities flesh colored. Face narrow 

 somewhat projecting." 



Measurements. Skull: occipito-nasal length, 78.6; Hensel, Si. 3; 

 zygomatic width, 57.8; intertemporal breadth, 41.2; palatal length, 

 25.2; median length of nasals, 12.9; length of mandible, 58.8. 



The animal was only about four months old and had not its com- 

 plement of teeth, and it is impossible to decide whether it represents a 

 new species or one already known. Adults from the same locality 

 must be first procured before an accurate decision can be arrived at.
