The possibility of a closer study of such interesting Indian genera 

 of small mammals as Vandeleuria is entirely owing to the splendid 

 work that is being done by the Bombay Society's Survey. Thanks 

 to this great enterprise, series of specimens, without which no 

 advance can be made, are being brought together both for study at 

 the time and preservation with a view to further comparisons 

 later. 



All the more, however, will any specimens be appreciated that 

 private members can obtain, to supplement those got by the Survey 

 Collectors, especially now that the work of the latter has been 

 interrupted by their unanimous enlistment in the service of their 

 countiy. 



Skins and spirit specimens from all parts of the Indian Empire 

 will be gratefully received by those responsible for working out the 

 mammals of the Survey. 



J.— A NEW Monkey from the Chindwin Biver. 



BY 



E. C. Wroughton. 



The Mammal Survey obtained on the west bank of the Lower 

 Chindwin, at Kin, three specimens of Presbytis pliayrei, a species 

 which it also obtained from Mt. Popa and the Shan States. Higher 

 up the river on the same bank, a single specimen of P. pileatiis 

 was obtained at Nansun Chaung. Of this specimen Mr, Shortridge 

 notes : " Apparently the Langur occurring on the west bank of the 

 River in the Upper Chindwin. Probably more confined to the 

 hills than the other species." Finally on the east bank, between 

 Homalin and Hkamti, was obtained a langur ranking in size and 

 make with inleaius, and the peninsular langurs, rather than with 

 the Burmese leaf-monkeys.
