Nothing is known of the habits of this animal except that it is com- 
monly found hanging beneath the leaves of the cocoanut palm. It 
was first recorded by Fitzinger in his nominal list of the mammals col- 
lected by the members of the Novara Expedition. Dr. Abbott secured 
a single specimen, an adult female, on Car Nicobar, January 25, 1901. 
He saw several others. 
The material at hand is not sufficient to determine the status of 
Cynopte'rus scherzeri. The animal is much like C. uiontanoi from 
Singapore, and C. sphinx from the peninsula of India, but the ears 
are smaller, the color is darker (vandyke brown instead of cinnamon), 
and the pale phalanges are less contrasted with the blackish wing 
membranes. Skull apparently smaller and narrower than that of C 
montanoi or C. sphinx.

Genus MACACUS Lacepede. 
MACACUS LEONINUS (Blyth). 
1869. Macaais andamanensis Bartlet, Land and Water, VIII, p. 57, July 24 (Port 
Blair). 
1869. Macacus andamanensis Sclater, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, p. 467. 
1888. Macacus leoninus Blanford, Fauna of British India, I, p. 18. 
The Burmese pig-tailed monkey has been introduced among the 
Andaman Islands, according to Dobson. By Bartlet, however, it was 
regarded as indigenous. The former view is probably correct. Dr. 
Abbott did not meet with the animal.
