The name was given by Blyth to a single specimen forwarded by 
Dr. Templeton, and it was for a time doubtful whether it was really a 
native, till Dr. Kellaart procured a second. Dr. Templeton’s specimen 
was partial to fresh vegetables, plantains, and fruit, but he ate freely 
boiled rice, beans, and gram. He was fond of being noticed and petted, 
stretching out his limbs in succession to be scratched, drawing himself up 
so that his ribs might be reached by the finger, closing his eyes during 
the operation, and evincing his satisfaction by grimaces irresistibly 
ludicrous.—merson Tennent,
