PHILIPPINE MACAQUE. 



Type locality. Manila, Island of Luzon, Philippines. Type an 

 albino in Paris Museum. 



Geogr. Distr. Islands of Luzon and Mindanao, and probably the 

 intervening islands. 



Genl. Char. Color dark, burnt umber and black. 



Color. "Upper parts raw umber, the hairs everywhere annulated 

 with blackish, top of head strongly washed with burnt umber, sides of 

 head pale grayish olive ; forehead with grizzled brown front, orna- 

 mented with long stiff black hairs forming a bushy brow ; outer surface 

 of limbs tawny olive, becoming dark gray on the fingers and toes ; tail 

 slaty black at base above becoming paler towards the extremity, and 

 olive drab below, with a few tawny annuli to the hairs of the upper 

 side near the base." Mearns, desc. of C. mindanensis. 



Measurements. Male, total length, 1,665; tail, 550; foot, 120. 

 Skull: total length, 125; occipito-nasal length, 104.4; Hensel, 83.5; 

 intertemporal width, 41.9; zygomatic width, 77.5; breadth of brain- 

 case, 60.4 ; length of nasals, 28.5 ; palatal length, 48 ; length of upper 

 molar series, 29.8; length of mandible, 90.9; length of lower molar 

 series, 38.3. Ex spec. British Museum, ex Lopez, S. Luzon. 



Specimens from north and south Luzon and from the Island of 

 Mindanao in the British Museum are identical with the description of 

 M. palpebrosus I. Geoff., and with Dr. Mearns' C. mindanensis. The 

 M. PHILIPPINENSIS Geoff., in the Paris Museum, has been founded on 

 an albino, and is stated to have come from Manila. It must be the 

 same as the animal afterwards described as P. palpebrosus, and the 

 latter name becomes a synonym.
