PITHECUS 209 



pared with a freshly killed specimen, or a living individual. The 

 description shows the type as it is to-day, but allowances will have to 

 be made for lapse of time, and possibly some lack of careful attention. 

 A large black patch on top of the head coming to a point in front; 

 a conspicuous line on forehead, and space around the eyes white ; space 

 around ears gray ; hair on cheeks long, grayish brown ; shoulders 

 reddish brown ; back very dark brown, dorsal line almost black ; arms, 

 legs and hands grayish brown ; feet darker brown ; under parts grayish 

 brown ; anal region white with a narrow red line down the center ; tail 

 short, carried over the back, darker brown above, white beneath ; face 

 livid flesh color ; eyes hazel. Description from living individual in the 

 Zoological Gardens, Calcutta. 



The name Iconinus having been employed by Shaw previously 

 (1. c.) for P. ALBIBARBATUS (Kerr), cannot be again used, and Bart- 

 lett's name andamanensis, the only one besides Blyth's bestowed on 

 the species, will have to be the one by which this monkey must be 

 hereafter known. This is unfortunate as this animal is not indigenous 

 to the Andaman Islands having been transported there, and the name 

 is a misleading one, but its adoption appears to be imperative.
