THE NEGEO MONKEY. 169 



upper lip, and on the more prominent part of the nose 

 an interrupted series is observed. The irides of the 

 eyes are of a dark brown colour. The ears are con- 

 cealed from view by the long hairs which cover the 

 lateral parts of the head; they are margined, and 

 both in form and disposition of external parts closely 

 resemble these organs in man. The neck is short, and 

 considerably contracted. The trunk is of great length, 

 broad and robust about the shoulders and the breast, 

 and gradually of smaller dimensions towards the loins. 

 The buttocks are marked with very large rough cal- 

 losities. The mamnise, in the adult female, are 

 lengthened and cylindrical. The tail is as long as the 

 body and head taken together ; in some individuals, 

 and particularly in young subjects, it exceeds these 

 parts in length ; it is cylindrical during the greater 

 part of its length ; the base is gradually tapering, 

 and the tip is thickened, and terminated by a close 

 tuft of long hairs of an ovate form. 



" The Semnopitkecus maurus is distinguished -among 

 the Javanese by the name of Budeng, from another 

 species which has the same form and habit, but a dif- 

 ferent external covering. The name of the latter is 

 Lutung; but the Malays and Europeans apply this 

 name to both species, and distinguish them by the 

 epithet of black and red ; the Budeng being denomi- 

 nated Lutung itam y and the Lutung of the Javanese, 

 Lutung mera. In Sumatra the name of the ' Maure' 

 is Lotong.
