PITHECUS 245 



Dr. Lyon (1. c.) has referred these specimens to (M.) ph^ura 

 Miller, overlooking various differences both in skulls, and color of 

 pelage. The latter is very different, much darker generally, and not 

 so yellow in tone, while the feet are a yellowish gray quite different 

 from the dark feet of P. ph.eurus. The geographical distribution of 

 the two forms would seem to negative the idea of their belonging to the 

 same species.

This is a reddish hued Macaque, with a long, loose coat, and a long 

 tail, not very much like any of the other species. It varies in 

 coloration, for another male taken on the same day, July 23, has none 

 of the reddish hue so strongly exhibited by the type, and is more of a 

 dark brown hue with a yellowish tinge. The limbs and tail are also 

 much lighter. The skull is short and broad for its length, palate broad, 

 and the tooth rows slightly curved ; teeth rather large, last premolar 

 and molars, each with four cusps ; teeth of lower molar series smaller 

 than those in the upper.
