MACACUS ARCTOIDES.

This monkey is reported to occur in Borneo, but as yet I 

 have not met with it. 



The type of Macacus arctoides was an adult male from 

 Cochin China, characterised by a red face, very short, stumpy 

 tail, and by long hair, each individual hair being ^ phisicrirs

A large red-faced monkey, with a stumpy tail, was pur- 

 chased by the Zoological Society from a dealer in Liverpool, 

 who could give no information regarding its habitat. Alter 

 living for some years in the Society's gardens it died, and was 

 deposited in the British Museum, where it is now stuffed, and 

 the skeleton and skull are preserved. In its general form it is 

 exactly like M. hriinncns^ only much larger, and it differs 

 from it and M. mclanotiis in the general annulations of its hair 

 all over the body, even to the under parts, which, however, are 

 not so distinctly annulated as the upper surface.

The leading features of this animal are— its massive form, its 

 large head closely set on the shoulders, its stout and rather 

 short legs, its slender loins and heavy buttocks, and its tail 

 thick at the base. The general colour of the monkey does not 

 call for any remark, as it conforms to that of the other species, 

 and it has the bluish white area internal to the eyes, and palish 

 eyelids. This is one of the common monkeys of the Borneo 

 jungle, found both in the low country and on the mountains to 

 the height of 5000-ft. It is known to the natives all over 

 Borneo as ' Kra ' ; this name is probably given to it on account 

 of the noise it makes. Specimens obtained above 3000-ft. on 

 the mountains have a tendency to become more rufous on the 

 head than those of the low country. They arc \ery destructive 

 in the gardens, and the paddy crops suffer much from the 

 depredations of these animals.
