2. Notice of Macacus lasiotus, a New Species of Ape from 

 China, in the Collection of the Society. By Dr. J. E. 

 Gray, F.R.S., V.P.Z.S., &c. 



(Plate VI.) 



Mr. Bartlett has brought to the British Museum for my exami- 

 nation and identification a large strong tailless male Macaque, which 

 has just been imported from China in the ' Star of the Isles,' and 

 added to the Collection of the Society. As the species is evidently 

 new to science, I propose to name it Macacus lasiotus, and send the 

 following short description, waiting until the animal can be more 

 carefully examined after its death ; for it is too fierce and unquiet to 

 be closely observed or handled. 



In the want of a tail, the square form of the rump, and the colour 

 of the face it is much like the Magot (Inuus ecaudatus), or Tailless 

 Ape of Africa ; but in the colour of the fur, of the skin of the hinder 

 part of the body, and in its general appearance it is more nearly allied 

 to the Rhesus {Macacus rhesus) of Asia. Indeed it is very like a 

 very fine large specimen of that group of Monkeys that has acci- 

 dentally lost its tail ; but the want of the tail is evidently a natural 

 deficiency.
