Captain Hutton, writing from Mussoorie, says: “On the Simla side 
I observed them also, leaping and playing about, while the fir-trees, 
among which they sported, were loaded with snow-wreaths, at an 
elevation of 11,000 feet.” —‘ Jour. As. Soc. Beng.’ xiii. p. 471. 
Dr. Anderson remarks on the skull of this species, that it can be 
easily distinguished from evze//us by its larger size, the supraorbital ridge 
being less forwardly projected, and not forming so thick and wide a pent 
roof, but the most marked difference lies in the much longer facial 
portion of schistaceus; the teeth are also larger; the symphysis or 
junction of the lower jaw is considerably longer and broader, and the 
lower jaw itself is generally more massive and deep.

* Mr. J. Cockburn, of the Imperial Museum, has, since I wrote about the preceding 
species, given me some interesting information regarding the geographical distribution 
of Presbytes entellus and Hylobates hooluck. He says: ‘‘ The latter has never been 
known to occur on the north bank of the Brahmaputra, though swarming in the 
forests at the very water’s edge on the south bank. The ev¢e//us monkey is also not 
found on the north bank of the Ganges, and attempts at its introduction have 
repeatedly failed.” P. schtstaceus replaces it in the Sub-Himalayan forests.
