  Museum, 
  which 
  was 
  duly 
  reported 
  on 
  by 
  Messrs. 
  Thomas 
  

   and 
  Wroughton^. 
  

  

  Amongst 
  the 
  monkeys 
  sent 
  were 
  t\venty 
  specimens 
  of 
  tlie 
  

   present 
  genus, 
  consisting 
  of 
  ten 
  males 
  and 
  ten 
  females, 
  from 
  

   the 
  foUowiug 
  islands 
  : 
  — 
  

  

  Singapore. 
  

  

  Tinggi, 
  East 
  Coast 
  of 
  Johore. 
  

  

  Bintang. 
  

  

  Batam. 
  

  

  Karimon. 
  

  

  Kuudur. 
  

  

  Old 
  males 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  are 
  more 
  difficult 
  to 
  obtain 
  than 
  

   younger 
  animals 
  and 
  females, 
  but 
  the 
  series 
  was 
  especially 
  

   seiected 
  by 
  us 
  to 
  include 
  as 
  many 
  adult 
  animals 
  as 
  possible. 
  

   From 
  this 
  very 
  limited 
  material 
  Dr. 
  Elliot 
  has, 
  however, 
  

   created 
  five 
  " 
  species," 
  viz. 
  : 
  — 
  

  

  Pithecus 
  dolhnani 
  : 
  Singapore. 
  

  

  Pithecus 
  Icetus 
  : 
  Tinggi 
  and 
  Tioman. 
  

  

  Pithecus 
  blntanyensis 
  : 
  Bintang 
  and 
  Batam. 
  

  

  Pithecus 
  karimoni: 
  Karimon. 
  Material 
  examined, 
  

  

  four 
  males 
  and 
  two 
  females. 
  

   Pithecus 
  alacer 
  : 
  Kundur 
  : 
  a 
  male 
  and 
  a 
  female. 
  

  

  Pithecus 
  dollmani. 
  (Vol. 
  II. 
  p. 
  248.) 
  

  

  The 
  type 
  is 
  not 
  from 
  " 
  Tjangi, 
  Island 
  of 
  Singapore, 
  south- 
  

   eastern 
  part/' 
  but 
  from 
  Cliangi, 
  N.E. 
  corner 
  of 
  Singapore 
  

   Island. 
  

  

  The 
  type, 
  though 
  an 
  adult 
  animal, 
  has 
  extremely 
  broad 
  

   incisors 
  ; 
  but 
  in 
  this 
  genus 
  the 
  character 
  is 
  of 
  no 
  importance, 
  

   as 
  the 
  breadth 
  appears 
  to 
  diminish 
  with 
  age. 
  

  

  The 
  size 
  of 
  the 
  last 
  molar 
  is 
  given 
  as 
  89"7 
  by 
  60 
  (pre- 
  

   sumably 
  millimetres, 
  as 
  all 
  other 
  measurements 
  are 
  given 
  in 
  

   these), 
  which 
  is, 
  of 
  course, 
  impossible. 
  

  

  Pithecus 
  latus. 
  (Vol. 
  II. 
  p. 
  236.) 
  

  

  The 
  type 
  locality 
  should 
  be 
  spelt 
  Tinggi 
  not 
  " 
  Tingi." 
  

   This 
  has, 
  on 
  account 
  of 
  its 
  pale 
  colour, 
  rather 
  better 
  

   claims 
  to 
  subspecific 
  rank 
  than 
  any 
  other 
  of 
  Dr. 
  Elliot's 
  

   "species/' 
  but 
  it 
  will 
  generally 
  be 
  found 
  that 
  forms 
  affecting 
  

   the 
  sea-coast, 
  where 
  they 
  are 
  exposed 
  to 
  the 
  bleaching 
  effect 
  

   of 
  salt 
  air 
  and 
  water, 
  are 
  paler 
  than 
  those 
  from 
  more 
  inland 
  

   districts.
