over-estimate the grace, precision and wonderful activity of these 

 creatures in their movements among trees or rocks, I do not 

 agree with Jerdon as to their rapidity when on " all fours." 



When at Russelcoudah, I came on a small foraging party on two 

 or three trees about half a mile from the wooded hill in which were 

 their head-quarters. Being well mounted and in the hope of a 

 gallop at new game, I had them turned out of the trees and laid 

 into their leader, an immense male, with an idea that he would 

 give me a rattling burst before I closed with him. The ground was 

 dry rice land, with high banks, and therefore I thought more in 

 favor of monkey than horse ; yet I closed with the poor brute in a 

 very few fields, and after one or two sharp turns so pressed 

 " Entellus" that he threw himself down in despair, cursing me most 

 heartily I doubt not, but looking so miserable that I had not heart 

 to hit him with my riding stick, I had not a spear, and was 

 contented with throwing my hat in his face, and allowing him to 

 go unhurt in body, whatever he may have been in mind. 



The horse, an Arab stallion of pure blood made eager in encoun- 

 ter by having been ripped by his first boar, an accident which as 

 often improves a bold as it mars a faint-hearted hunter, certainly 

 was a glorious one in pursuit of any animal that could be speared 

 and enjoyed closing with it most keenly, but in this case I think 

 I could have done nearly as much off a clever pony.

JERDON, No. 1, PAGE 6, "LUNGOOR" OR "HOONOOMAN 



MONKEY ;" DOUBTFUL RACE. 



Jerdon remarks, that, this race was founded on a single skin 

 from the table-land of Southern India, and, that, he thinks it by 

 no means impossible that another race does take the place of 

 "Entellus" there. 



If this be a distinct species, it is, I believe, to be found in the 

 Koodlighee Talook, S. W. of Bellary, probably over Mysore and 

 the Western Deccan. 



I remarked that in the Koodlighee Talook the "Lungoors" 

 appeared to be of a lighter color, to have longer hair, and to prefer
