Cervulus feae. Tea's Muntjac. My coolies when searching for 

 food came across the dead body of a deer which they did not recognize. 

 The deer had been killed by a leopard while drinking in the Menam 

 Lor, a tributary of the Quaa Noi, and at that point about 4 miles from 

 Kow Pra on the Tenasserim boundary in N. Lat. 14"^ 23'. On that 

 day I also was searching for food, and returned to camp in the late 

 evening to find that the hungry men, having found the deer, had eaten 

 all of it and had roasted the head and mashed it up. The horns, 

 similar to those of a Barking Deer, had been turned into knife handles, 

 and the skin had been twisted up into pack ropes. All that I recovered 

 of this rare deer was a piece of the skin with the tail attached ; and 

 this, taken in conjunction with the horns and localitv, I consider places 

 the question of identification beyond doubt. So far as I know, this 

 is the second specimen so far recorded, the first having been obtained 

 many years ago in Tenasserim. 



Colour. The hair of the back, dark brown, each hair either 

 tipped or annulated with golden yellow. A few white hairs intermixed, 

 and these also are tipped golden yellow. Tail, pure white, with a 

 narrow black line down the centre. Length of tail in dried skin 

 (probably btretched) 6 in. and the white hairs project for L3 in. 

 beyond this. 



The Karen guide informed me that this was the " ee-kung " and 

 that it took place of the " ee-keng " or Barking Deer in the evergreen 

 jungle, and that the call of the two species was similar.

No. v.— NOTE ON LANGUR MONKEYS. 



On pages 33 and 86 of Vol. I. No. 1 of the Journal, I referred 

 to two species of Semnopithecus ( now Presbytis ) which I was unable to 

 identify. 



I have now heard from the British Museum authorities that the 

 species described on p. 33 as "black in colour, with poll and tail french- 

 grey, and with bare rings ai'ound the eyes of a pinkish white colour", 

 is Presbytis obscurus. This species extends down the Malay Peninsula, 

 the northern limit in Siam apparently being N. Lat. 13° 20'.
