tuft of the tail white; black crest on the eye-brows, and the

are from the straits of Sunda.(1) | 
Macacus.(2) 
All the animals of this denomination have a fifth tubercle on their 
last molares, and callosities and cheek-pouches like a Guenon. The 
limbs are shorter and thicker than in a Semnopithecus ; the muzzle 
more projecting, and the superciliary ridge more inflated than in 
either the one or the other. Though docile when young, they be- 
come unmanageable when old. They all have asac which commu- 
nicates with the larynx under the thyroid cartilage, and which, when 
they cry out, becomes filled with air. Their tail is pendent, and 
takes no part in their motions: they produce early, but are not 
completely adult for four or five years. ‘The period of gestation is 
seven months—during the rutting season the labia pudendi, &c. of 
the females are excessively distended.(3) They are generally brought 
from India.

(1) There is some variation in their Malay names. Raffles, (Linn. Trans, XIII) 
calls the §. comata, Chinkau ; the S. maura, Lotong. RafHles calls the S. fascicu- 
_ laris the Kra. 
(2) Macaco is the generic appellation of monkeys on the coast of Guinea, and 
among the negroes transported to the colonies. Marcgrave mentions a species, 
which he says has ‘* nares elatas bifidas’—and these vague words, copied from him 
only, have remained in the character applied to the Macaque of Buff. although it 
_ has nothing like it. 
(3) Hence the observation of lian, that monkeys are to be seen in India which 
have a prolapsus uteri.
