and shorter, the two lateral ridges not uniting until they reach the 

 posterior portion of the frontal ; occipital region has a more acute 

 angle, bullae more inflated, palate wider ; tooth row curved posteriorly, 

 the last molar set inward on both sides; incisors projecting at a more 

 acute angle ; zygomatic arch curved and with considerable spread. The 

 skulls of the two Macaques possess unusually numerous points of 

 difference, not often seen in allied species.

This species is quite unlike P. mordax from Java, but nearer the 

 one from Bawean Island, from which, however, it is easily dis- 

 tinguished by its blackish brown tail. All these Javanese Macaques 

 appear to have the forward fan-shaped radiation of the hair from the 

 ears, a peculiarity belonging however to others of the genus, but usually 

 with a more circular radiation, not so much confined to a forward 

 movement.
