  on 
  

  

  (Vol. 
  III. 
  p. 
  45), 
  Dr. 
  Elliot 
  has 
  made 
  tlie 
  following 
  

   eirors 
  : 
  — 
  

  

  (1) 
  He 
  has 
  indicated 
  as 
  the 
  type 
  locality 
  Bankasun 
  in 
  

   Tenasserim, 
  wherice 
  a 
  specimen 
  was 
  forwarded, 
  in 
  1877 
  by 
  

   Davidson, 
  forty-seven 
  years 
  after 
  the 
  species 
  was 
  first 
  

   named. 
  

  

  (2) 
  On 
  the 
  strength 
  of 
  Hose's 
  field-notes 
  *, 
  describing 
  the 
  

   Bornean 
  form 
  as 
  P. 
  femoralis 
  and 
  not 
  as 
  P. 
  chrysomelas 
  (of 
  

   which 
  name 
  Hose 
  was 
  apparently 
  ignorant), 
  he 
  has 
  added 
  

   the 
  locality 
  Borneo 
  to 
  the 
  range, 
  and, 
  while 
  following 
  

   SchlegeFs 
  identification 
  of 
  P. 
  femoralis 
  with 
  the 
  latter's 
  own 
  

   P. 
  sumatrana 
  (Vol. 
  III. 
  p. 
  43), 
  he 
  has 
  stated 
  that 
  these 
  

   representative 
  forms 
  occur 
  on 
  the 
  same 
  mountain, 
  which 
  is, 
  

   to 
  say 
  the 
  leas% 
  highly 
  improbable 
  (pp. 
  28 
  and 
  29). 
  

  

  But, 
  since 
  in 
  a 
  " 
  Key 
  to 
  the 
  Species 
  " 
  (p. 
  30) 
  it 
  is 
  stated 
  

   that 
  P. 
  femoralis 
  has 
  the 
  " 
  tail 
  white 
  at 
  base 
  beneath,'' 
  while 
  

   on 
  page 
  46 
  we 
  are 
  told 
  that 
  " 
  The 
  tail, 
  however, 
  is 
  never 
  

   M'liitish 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  beneath," 
  one 
  may 
  say, 
  without 
  un- 
  

   fairness, 
  that 
  Dr. 
  Elliot 
  cannot 
  recognize 
  his 
  material 
  nor 
  

   the 
  species 
  to 
  which 
  he 
  ascribes 
  it. 
  

  

  In 
  1911 
  we 
  described 
  as 
  P. 
  n. 
  keatii 
  a 
  race 
  of 
  P. 
  neglect 
  a 
  

   from 
  Trang, 
  North 
  Malay 
  Peninsula, 
  founding 
  it 
  on 
  three 
  

   specimens 
  from 
  the 
  type 
  locality 
  and 
  three 
  from 
  Perak, 
  

   while 
  several 
  others 
  from 
  northern 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  Peninsnla 
  

   have 
  since 
  been 
  obtained. 
  Dr. 
  Elliot 
  has 
  seen 
  fit, 
  without 
  

   examination 
  of 
  the 
  specimens, 
  to 
  state 
  that 
  our 
  type 
  is 
  a 
  

   young 
  adult, 
  though 
  it 
  was 
  specifically 
  stated 
  to 
  be 
  an 
  

   adult 
  male. 
  After 
  examination 
  of 
  a 
  considerable 
  series 
  from 
  

   all 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  Peninsula, 
  from 
  Singapore 
  to 
  Bandon, 
  we 
  

   are 
  in 
  a 
  position 
  to 
  state 
  definitely 
  that 
  the 
  northern 
  form 
  

   differs 
  in 
  the 
  characters 
  stated 
  from 
  the 
  southern, 
  although, 
  

   of 
  course, 
  as 
  is 
  necessarily 
  the 
  case 
  in 
  a 
  species 
  inhabiting 
  

   a 
  continuous 
  land-area, 
  some 
  gradation 
  takes 
  place. 
  We 
  

   are 
  not 
  aware 
  that 
  Dr. 
  Elliot 
  has 
  examined 
  more 
  than 
  the 
  

   series 
  of 
  specimens 
  extant 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum, 
  wliich 
  

   have 
  also 
  passed 
  through 
  the 
  hands 
  of 
  one 
  of 
  us 
  and 
  are 
  

   either 
  old 
  and 
  deteriorated 
  or 
  badly 
  prepared 
  skins.

  to 
  

   the 
  kindness 
  of 
  the

  of

  National 
  

   ]\luseum, 
  we 
  have 
  examined 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  typical 
  specimens 
  

   from 
  Trang, 
  is 
  apparently 
  based 
  on 
  a 
  somewhat 
  young 
  

   specimen 
  of 
  Pygathrix 
  obscura 
  halonifer 
  (Cantor), 
  which 
  

   was 
  originally 
  described 
  from

  We 
  have

  specimens
