BONNET MACAQUE. 



Type locality. Bengal. 



Geogr. Distr. Southern India; north, possibly, to the Godaveri 

 River, and on the west to Bombay. 



Gcnl. Char. Face naked ; forehead sparsely haired, the hair parted 

 in the center ; hair on crown radiating from a central point in all direc- 

 tions but not falling over forehead ; hairs on upper parts moderately 

 long ; ears naked, prominent ; tail nearly as long as the body. 



Color. Male. Hairs on head and upper parts brownish olive on 

 basal half, remainder banded with dark brown and buff, giving a red- 

 dish brown hue to these parts ; outer side of limbs olive gray ; under 

 parts and inner side of limbs yellowish white ; hands and feet similar 

 to the limbs but darker in hue ; tail above darker than the back, being 

 blackish brown at base graduating into bistre towards the tip, beneath 

 yellowish white like under parts. 



Female is somewhat lighter, one before me from Travancore, 

 British Museum Collection No. 19. a. being an almost uniform olive 

 brown above, with but slight evidence of bands on the hairs ; limbs 

 paler, uniform olive grayish brown ; hands and feet blackish brown ; 

 under parts, body and limbs yellowish white ; tail above like back, 

 beneath yellowish white. Face and callosities flesh color. 



Measurements. Total length, 800; tail, 340; foot, 115, (skin). 

 Skull: total length, 108; occipito-nasal length, 87.3; Hensel, 67; inter- 

 temporal width, 43.2; zygomatic width, 81 ; breadth of braincase, 61.1 ; 

 nasals broken; palate broken; length of upper molar series, 29; length 

 of mandible, 77.6 ; length of lower molar series, 38. 



This species and its near relative P. pileatus are readily recog- 

 nizable among the Macaques by the curious manner in which the hair 

 on the crown of the head radiates from a common center. It is a 

 native of southern India, its limits being Bombay on the west and the 

 Godaveri River on the east.
