510 QUADRUMANA. 



hairs are annulated with black and white), which colour fades into white 

 on the wrists and hands. This is also the colour of the legs below the 

 knee, and of the feet. A line of stiff black hairs forms a distinct arch over 

 each eye, whence a band, or patch, extends to each ear : from the super- 

 ciliary double arch, a narrow line of black is carried down the raised ridge 

 of the nose, to the tip, where it expands, forming a patch, conspicuous* 

 from its contrast with the flesh colour of the orbits, cheeks, and muzzle. 

 Bushy whiskers, commencing on the malar bones, below the orbits, extend 

 back, and form a full margin on the sides of the face below each ear, 

 limiting the naked part of the face to a narrow space between the eyes 

 and upper lip. These tufts begin of a grizzled grey, and pass into buff, 

 about the sides of the neck and throat ; the lips and chin are furnished with 

 white hairs, which are rather long, but not, however, so much so, nor so 

 thick, as to form a beard. The abdomen and inside of the limbs are 

 white ; the tail is red above, white below ; the palms are blackish ; the 

 ears are moderate dusky. 



Length from the superciliary ridge to the root of the tail, 2ft. lin. ; 

 tail imperfect. 



In the specimen of a female nearly as large as the preceding (also in 

 the Museum of Paris'), the shoulders are red, like the rest of the body ; 

 but the fore-arms and hands are white. In young and semi-adult speci- 

 mens, the shoulders are less purely grey, often washed with reddish, and 

 the limbs are yellowish buff, or pale sandy red. 



The following is the description of a semi-adult female, lately living in 

 the menagerie of the Zoological Society, London. 



Length of head and body, 1ft. Sin. 



The coat was generally short, but in some parts, as on the occiput, for 

 instance, between two and three inches long. The upper and outer sur- 

 faces were brownish ruddy, brightest on the head, tinged with grey on the 

 arms, approaching to fawn on the legs, and blending into a yellowish grey 

 toward the end of the tail ; the hairs being mostly annulated with grey, 

 reddish yellow, and black. The under and inner surfaces were ashy, washed, 

 in parts, with a slight tinge of yellow ; on the brow there was a band of 

 stiff, black hairs, forming an arch over each of the eyes, and terminating 

 above their outer angles, on the sides of the head, in patches of some 

 breadth, and of the same colour. From the centre of this band, or double 

 arch, a black line passed down the raised and narrow ridge of the nose, 

 rapidly expanding, as it approached the tip of that part, into a broad, 

 black, hairy patch, which (the muzzle, orbits, and cheeks being of a pale 

 flesh- colour) was remarkably conspicuous; the lips were furnished with 

 dusky hairs ; and the whiskers, which commenced on the front of the 

 cheeks, and terminated behind the ears, were rather long, straight, and 

 projecting; their colour was yellowish posteriorly, ashy in the middle, and
