MACACUS RHESUS VILLOSUS, new ,siib.specie8. 



Dr. Abbott obtained in Lolab the skins of five monkeys, which appear 

 to represent a variety of the common M. rhesus. I at first supposed 

 them to represent M. a.'isamensis, but after a careful comparison with 

 Anderson's description of the type of that species I became convinced 

 that they were not the same. They present the following characters : 

 Fur long and dense, and moderately wavy; ears hairy; hair of the 

 crown directed backward, not radiating; upper surfaces, from the 

 crown to the rump, nearly uniform rusty-brown, but brightest and 

 purest posteriorly. Outside of fore limbs dull gray, overlaid proxim- 

 ally by the brown color of the shoulders. Thighs rust-colored; hind 

 feet pale, sooty; chin, neck, breast and inside of fore limbs gray, with 

 a slight yellowish admixture; belly and inside of the hind limbs yel- 

 low-brown, paler than the back. Face dusky; cheeks grayish yellow- 

 brown. At the posteroexternal base of the ears is a tuft of rather 

 long gray hairs, with reduced rust colored tips; ears clothed with 

 grayish hairs, but with a blackish fringe about the upper margin. 

 Callosities pale in color and closely surrounded by fur. Tail thick, 

 dark gray above. Iris pale brown. 



Dr. Abbott gives the following measurements of the fresh specimens:

It will be observed from the foregoing table that the length of the 

 hind limb, measured from the middle of the rump, is almost exactly 

 equal to the length of the head and body. The fore limb is only slightly
