270 Dr. D. G. Elliot on apparenlly new 



type, indeterminable, and the name albocinereus, if not 

 dropped from our list, must remain in abeyance until some 

 Sumatran monkey is found answering to the descrii)tiou 

 given by Desmarcst. Schlcgcl in the ' Museum des Pays- 

 Bas/ Singes, p. 12, made an attempt to revive the name, 

 but unfortunately mixeil dilferent species from INIalacea and 

 Sumatra in his comparisons, and failed to produce an animal 

 resembling albocinereus, Desmarcst. Failing, therefore, to 

 acquire the right to bear the name given by Desmarcst, 

 certam Malacean forms heretofore passing under the name 

 of albocinereus will have to be christened anew, of which the 

 first is the dark monkey from Southern Malacca, and another, 

 the next species, from the southern end of the Peninsula, 

 which leads on to the island forms called respectively 

 P. rhionis and P. cana.
