 This species, although nearly allied to the Semnopithecus entellus, is 

 as fully entitled to a specific rank as several others of this genus, which 

 have a place in all systematic catalogues. Mr. Hodgson gives the first 

 authentic account of it in the ninth volume of the Journal of the 

 Asiatic Society of Bengal, where it is characterized : " dark slaty 

 above ; below and entire head, pale yellow ; hands, concolorous with 

 the body, or very slightly darkened ; tail, longer than the body, and 

 very slightly tufted ; hair, on the crown of the head short and radiated, 

 on the cheeks long, directed back, and covering the ears." In a very 

 old specimen, presented to the Company's Museum by Mr. Hodgson, 

 the general colour is gray, inclining to hoary ; in a younger individual 

 it inclines to rufous ; in both the head is nearly white, with a yellowish 

 shade, exhibiting the distinguishing feature of this species in its cover- 

 ing. On the crown the hairs form a radiating cap : on the sides they 

 are longer than in Semnopithecus entellus, entirely concealing the ears ; 

 on the sides and chin they are arranged circularly, like a beard. 



This species was observed by Captain Thomas Hutton, who writes 

 from the Himalayas to Mr. Blyth: " I fell in this morning with a whole 

 lot of Monkeys, Mussoorie Lungoors, and took a leisurely survey of 

 them ; they were dark grayish, with pale hands and feet, white head, 



dark face, white throat and breast, and white tip to the tail I 



have long thought that the Lungoor of our parts must be distinct 

 from the Semnopithecus entellus of Bengal, on account of the different 



locality in which they are found On the Simla side I observed 



them also, leaping and playing about, while the fir-trees, among which 

 they sported, were loaded with snow-wreaths, at an elevation of 11,000 

 feet/' Jour. As. Soc. Beng. XIII. p. 471.
