Mr. G. W. Dawson, I.C.S., and Major F. 0. Owens, the Deputy 

 Commissioner of Sagaing, are among those who sent in valuable 

 collections from districts we were unable to visit. 



While we were in his State, the Saw Bwa of Zingkaling Hkamti 

 gave us every assistance for which we are very grateful as we did 

 not find the Upper Chindwin, the easiest and most satisfactory dis- 

 trict in Burma to work in. 



(1) Hylobates hoolock, Harl. 



The White-broived Gibbon.

"Plentiful in the Upper Chindwin. Occurring on the West bank of the 

 river from below Kindat Northwards. In Zingkaling, Hkamti State, it was 

 equally plentiful on both sides of the river. £t had evidently crossed over 

 by way of the Hukawng Valley, above the source of the Chindwin, but the 

 comparatively flat country south of that State, on the East bank, has not 

 proved favourable for its extension further South. We found this species 

 gregarious and quite similar in habits to H lar. The call notes, however, 

 although unmistakably recognisable as coming from a Gibbon, were quite 

 diff'erent to those of lar. They are not nearly so musical, many of the 

 sounds rather resembling the barking of a dog. As usual, the black and 

 brown varieties were not sexual, in many old black males the hair on the 

 chin and scrotum was white." — ^G.C.S.

The Burmese Pig-tailed Monkey.

Very closely resembling the next species, but for the very peculiar arran- 

 gement of the hair on the crown of the head. There is no specimen in the 

 National Collection with which to compare it, but the radiating arrangement 

 of the hair on the crown and the horseshoe shaped crest are so characteris- 

 tic that there can be no doubt of the identification. The type locality is 

 Arakan. 



" Obtained on the West bank of the river, in Hkamti State. Probably a 

 hill form and possibly common enough round Sarameti and other hill 

 regions." — G.C.S.

The Himalayan Monhey.

 There does not seem to be any definite type locality for P. rhesus. The 

 specimens in the National Collection of both rhesus and assamensis (except 

 those contributed by the Mammal Survey) are of little assistance. The 

 Mamoial Survey has obtained one from Damoh, C. P., which certainly 

 cannot be assamensis. It has the under parts, especially the throat, 

 practically white (very pale greyish) and in this agrees with the specimens
