18 CEECOPITHECIDJE. 



there is a specimen in the Calcutta Museum said to have been 

 brought from Tipperah. To the eastward this form is found in 

 the Kakhyen hills of Upper Burma and also in Cochin China. 



Habits. Nothing is definitely known of this monkey in the wild 

 state. It is said to be a hill species. 



Blyth refers the present form to M. speeiosus of F. Cuvier, a 

 name generally applied to a Japanese species, and Anderson is 

 disposed to concur. M. speeiosus is said by Tcuirainck (' Fauna 

 Japonica ') to have been founded on a drawing by Uiard or Du- 

 vaucel of a monkey living at Barraokpur near Calcuita. The 

 figure resembles a pig-tailed Monkey (J/, nemesirinus) with most 

 of its tail cut off as much as it does either M. arctoides or the 

 Japanese species. I agree \Aith Anderson that the name M. spe- 

 eiosus should be dropped. 



A stump-tailed monkey of ruAjus-brovA'n coloration, said to be 

 from the Malay Peninsula, has been i:iamed J/, rnfeseens by 

 Anderson (P. Z. S. 1872, pp. 204, 495, pi. xxiv) ; and two other 

 forms, M. maurus and M. ocreatas, inhabit some of the INIalay 

 islands, A very large form, M. iibetanus, has been described from 

 Moupin, in Eastern Tibet, by A. M.-Edwards. In his latest work 

 Anderson has united this form to 71/. arctoides. 



I am informed by Mr. AV. Davison that he had for some time 

 alive a monkey of a kind apparently allied to M. arctoides, which 

 had been captured by a shikari near Bankasun in the extreme 

 south of Tenasserim. Mr. Davison has also seen a second speci- 

 men, a female, his own being a male. Unfortunately the first 

 specimen was subsequently lost. These animals were of a pale 

 cream-colour throughout, slightly tinged with rusty on the shoulders 

 and back ; face and hands flesh-coloured. The tail was quite rudi- 

 mentary, less than an inch long, and turned on one side in both 

 specimens, so that at the first glance both appeared to be tailless. 

 Both were very small, although shown to be adults by the teeth, — 

 each being not above 15 inches high when it stood erect. They 

 had a shai^p piercing voice, and exhaled a peculiar fetid odour. 

 The one kept by Mr. Davison was excessively insectivorous, and 

 preferred insects to fruit or bread. These monkeys apparently 

 belonged to an undescribed species. 



It is quite possible, too, that the large tailless ape seen by Mr. 

 Davison and Captain Bingham in the Tenasserim mountains, and 

 described in the notes on HylohcUes lav (ante, p. 9), may be an 

 ally of M. arctoides, though apparently much larger than that 

 species.
