  specimens 
  are 
  darker 
  than 
  those 
  from 
  Tinggi, 
  

   and 
  the 
  type 
  from 
  the 
  latter 
  island 
  was 
  an 
  abnormally 
  large 
  

   solitary 
  male 
  with 
  the 
  sagittal 
  crest 
  unusually 
  well 
  developed.

  Specimens 
  from 
  Batam 
  and 
  Bintang 
  can 
  be 
  exactly 
  matched 
  

   by 
  others 
  from 
  the 
  mainland 
  of 
  the 
  Peninsula. 
  

  

  The 
  two 
  islands 
  are 
  separated 
  by 
  a 
  Strait 
  not 
  broader 
  than 
  

   five 
  or 
  six 
  miles 
  with 
  intervening 
  islands.

  The 
  measurements 
  given 
  by 
  Dr. 
  Elliot 
  (viz., 
  total 
  length 
  

   900 
  ; 
  tail 
  432 
  ; 
  foot 
  152; 
  ear 
  35) 
  are 
  not 
  those 
  of 
  the 
  

   collector, 
  as 
  they 
  are 
  stated 
  to 
  be^ 
  but 
  should 
  read 
  — 
  total 
  

   length 
  956;

  The 
  alteration 
  of 
  these 
  dimensions 
  is 
  quite 
  unwarrantable, 
  

   the 
  more 
  so 
  as 
  the 
  result 
  is 
  to 
  force 
  the 
  species 
  into 
  the 
  

   author's 
  subgenus 
  Neocebus, 
  and 
  thereby 
  separate 
  it 
  sub- 
  

   generically 
  from 
  the 
  mainland 
  macaque, 
  which, 
  to 
  anyone 
  

   who 
  has 
  examined 
  the 
  skins 
  and 
  skulls 
  or 
  is 
  acquainted 
  with 
  

   the 
  animals 
  in 
  life, 
  is 
  absurd.

  In 
  this 
  species 
  also 
  measurements 
  are 
  not 
  those 
  of 
  the 
  

   collector, 
  and 
  the 
  total 
  length 
  should 
  read 
  844 
  and 
  not 
  

   794 
  as 
  given 
  by 
  Dr. 
  Elliot. 
  When 
  becomes 
  to 
  deal 
  with 
  the 
  

   common 
  Crab-eating 
  Macaque 
  of 
  Burma, 
  Tenasserim, 
  and 
  

   the 
  Malay 
  Peninsula, 
  Dr. 
  Elliot 
  has 
  created 
  even 
  greater 
  

   confusion. 
  

  

  For 
  the 
  mainland 
  form 
  of 
  Burma 
  and 
  Tenasserim 
  he 
  has, 
  

   following 
  Cabrera, 
  revived 
  Cuvier's 
  name 
  Macacus 
  irus 
  

   (Vol. 
  II. 
  p. 
  229), 
  the 
  type 
  of 
  which 
  (thongli 
  it 
  is 
  not 
  actually 
  

   so 
  stated) 
  probably 
  came 
  from 
  Malacca. 
  

  

  The 
  range 
  of 
  this 
  form 
  he 
  gives 
  as 
  Burma, 
  Arakan, 
  

   Tenasserim, 
  and 
  Malay 
  Peninsula. 
  

  

  Since 
  Bonhote's 
  paper, 
  writers 
  on 
  Malayan 
  mammals 
  have 
  

   used 
  the 
  name 
  fascicularis 
  for 
  this 
  race, 
  the 
  type 
  of 
  which 
  

   ciirae 
  from 
  Sumatra; 
  but 
  Dr. 
  Elliot 
  restricts 
  it 
  to 
  Sumatra 
  

   and, 
  mirahile 
  dicta, 
  the 
  islands 
  Terutau 
  and 
  Langkawi 
  

   (Vol. 
  II. 
  p. 
  233), 
  which 
  are 
  well 
  within 
  the 
  ten-fathom 
  line 
  in 
  

   the 
  immediate 
  neighbourhood 
  of 
  the 
  Peninsula 
  coast, 
  Avhile 
  

   there 
  is 
  over 
  25 
  fathoms 
  with 
  wide 
  stretches 
  of 
  sea 
  between 
  

   them 
  and 
  Sumatra.
