proportions strong ; canine teeth long and deeply grooved in front ; the 

 last of the cheek-teeth in the upper jaw blunt." 



The type of "Inuus" pelops Hodgson is in the British Museum. 

 It was mounted but has been made into a skin and is in very fair con- 

 dition. It is of a dull brown with a slight yellowish tinge on the head 

 and upper parts, the hairs not annulated, and paler on the rump ; outer 

 surface of arms smoke gray, hands blackish ; legs like rump, a darkish 

 clay color becoming grayish brown at ankles ; feet covered with clay 

 colored hairs ; tail purplish brown ; under parts and inner side of 

 limbs gray. Hairs on head radiate from a center as described by 

 Anderson of the type. There can be no doubt that this is an immature 

 animal of P. assamensis. There are two specimens in the British 

 Museum one considerably darker than the other, but of general uni- 

 form coloring above, the hairs without annulations. 



There is a Macaque in the Calcutta Museum, labelled M. assam- 

 ensis, and stated to have come from Assam. It has the top of head, 

 upper parts of body and sides fox red ; long black hairs on face ; 

 sides of head yellow ; arms, hands and sides paler red than body ; legs 

 below knees reddish yellow ; lower parts of body and inner side of 

 limbs yellowish white ; tail pale red above, golden beneath ; callosities 

 not large, red. This is a handsome monkey; the colors fox red and 

 golden yellow ; the face apparently pale red. It would seem to be too 

 red for P. assamensis and nearer the color of P. rufescens, which, 

 however, appears to be a resident of Tenasserim, and not known as 

 from Assam. 



The types of Mammals in the Collection of the East Indian 

 Museum were supposed to have been deposited in the British Museum, 

 but after diligent search the type of this species could not be found, 

 and there are no records extant to show it ever was in the latter 

 Institution. Anderson saw it in the Indian Museum when he was in 

 London and gives (1. c.) the following description of it: "The type of 

 M. assamensis in the Indian Museum, London, is an adult male. It is 

 a stuffed specimen, but the skull has been removed from the skin and is 

 not in the Museum. This monkey differs from all adult animals of 

 the common monkey of the plains of India, which have come under my 

 observation, in the anterior half wanting the ashy tint which is so 

 characteristic of the adults, and in the hinder portion of the body being 

 in no way rufous. The fur too is almost completely devoid of annula- 

 tions, and the hair around the face and on the chin is longer than in 

 animals from the plains. The general color of this old specimen may be
