extends southwards and westwards, and one variety or race from 

 the south was named as distinct by Elliot. My impression of the 

 Langoor found in the Deccan is, that it had less black on the 

 hands and feet, and was of a decidedly more ashy hue than the 

 Bengal monkey, thus corresponding with part of Horsfield's des- 

 cription of Entellus ; and it is still a desideratum to define the 

 geographic boundaries of Presbytis Entellus and P. priamus."

 Langoor or Hunuman Monkey, doubtful race. 



Jerdon, at page 6, says that, " Messrs. Elliot and Blyth, at one 

 time separated from P. entellus, a race or variety, under the name 

 of P. anchises, Elliot. It nearly corresponds in color with 

 P. entellus, but has the hands and feet much less black than that 

 species, and the hair of greater length, that of the toes particularly 

 being remarkably long ; and the hairs moreover are straight, not 

 wavy, as in Entellus." 



I have not yet succeeded in getting a skin of this monkey ; but 

 I still believe that, if it exists, it is to be found in the Koodlighee 

 Talook, S. W. of Bellary in the Ceded Districts. Goodicottah, is, 

 I think, one of the most likely places whereat to procure it ; so 

 should be the rocky ground between Koodlighee and Hoorly-Hull. 

 It is to be hoped that some sportsman from Bellary will obtain a 

 specimen and forward it to the Government Museum at Madras, 



At page 7, No. 3, Jerdon writes as follows of :

The Madras Langoor. 



Description. " Ashy gray color with a pale reddish or "chocolate 

 au lait" tint overlaying the whole back and head ; sides of the 

 head, chin, throat and beneath, pale yellowish ; hands and feet, 

 whitish ; face, palms and fingers, and soles of the feet and toes, 

 black ; a high-compressed vertical crest of hairs on the top of the 

 head ; hairs long and straight, not wavy ; tail of the color of the 

 darker portion of the back, ending in a whitish tuft. 

 Much of the same size as Entellus. 



This species inhabits the eastern Ghauts and southern portion 

 of the tableland of Southern India, not extending however to the
