Type in British iMuseum, no. 81. G, 30. 2. 



Tlie unique type of this very unusually coloured .Macaque 

 is stated to have come from Cochin China, no particular 

 locality in that country being specilied. In its peculiar brown 

 and oli\c-_\ellow speckled fur it more nearly resembles the 

 long-tailed species P. vus of the Malay Peninsula, Burma, 

 Hic, but is a much more powerful animal, has not any 

 reddish brown on the head, and a much shorter tail; in fact, 

 it does not resemble closely any described species of 

 Macaque at present known to me.
