There is still some doubt about the distinctness of this monkey from 

 rhesus ; as well as its identity with the A ssam one, and the materials in 

 the museum of the Asiatic Society are insufficient to form a decided 

 opinion. Major Hutton, however, considers that he has obtained this 

 monkey in the interior of the Mussoorie hills, where it replaces r^esws at 

 a high elevation ; and he had one or two young individuals alive which 

 showed the wavy fur noted by Hodgson. 



Hodgson in the last edition of his Catalogue has, in addition to rhesus 

 and peloj^s, another species which he names in MSS. Macacus sikimensis. 

 If this be distinct from the other two, it may be assamensis ; and it is 

 pei'haps the monkey, not rare near Darjeeling at from 4,000 to 5,000 feet 

 high, which I considered to be rhesus, and which is very destructive to 

 the fields of Indian corn. 



Other species of Inuus are /. nemestrinus, from the Tenasserim pro- 

 vinces and Malayana, and 7. leoninus, Blyth, from Arrakan, perhaps the 

 same as /. arctoides of Is. Geoffroy. 



Gen. Macacus. 



Tail longer than in Inuus, and face not so lengthened ; otherwise as in 

 that genus.

The Madras Monkey. 



Descr. — Of a dusky olive-brown colour, paler and albescent on the belly, 

 and somewhat ashy on the outer sides of the limbs ; hairs on the crown 

 of the head, radiated ; tail, dnsky-brown above, whitish beneath. Length 

 of one, head and body, 20 inches ; tail, 15. 



This monkey is found over all the Southern parts of India, extending 

 North to N. L. 18°, or thereabouts, where it is replaced by Imius rhesus. 

 " It abounds," says Mr. Elliot, "over all this portion of country, sometimes 

 inhabiting the wildest jungles, and at others living in populous towns, and 

 carrying off fruit and grain from the shops of the dealers with the greatest 

 coolness and address."
