A. Presented by Sir T. S. Raffles. 



In the descriptive catalogue of a zoological collection made in Suma- 

 tra, Sir T. S. Raffles states that the Bruhis very common in the vicinity 

 of Bencoolen, where the inhabitants train it to a useful domestic pur- 

 pose. Of the three varieties above enumerated, the Bruh-sepotong is 

 the most docile. A brief summary of what is known of the habits of 

 this species is given in the following extract from Mr. Ogilby's " Na- 

 tural History of Monkeys," &c. p. 377. " The Bruh," Mr. Ogilby 

 states, " is both good-natured and intelligent. These qualities have 

 procured it a high degree of respect among the natives of Sumatra, 

 who are fond of domesticating the Bruh, and have even contrived to 

 turn its intelligence and docility to a better account than we find 

 authentically recorded of any other monkey. Sir T. S. Raffles informs 

 us that they teach it to climb the cocoa palms for the purpose of pro- 

 curing the fruit, and that it selects the ripe from the unripe nuts 

 with admirable discrimination, and plucks no more than its master 

 desires."
