MAMMAL SURVEY OF INDIA, BURMA AND CEYLON. 297 



from Kumaon and Bengal-Orissa. On the other hand the Burmese 

 specimens have the underside but little darker than the dorsal surface 

 and always yellowish. On these grounds I ranked the Popa specimens 

 (Report 16) as assamensis and do the same here. It is possible that our 

 Assam Collection may provide further data. Mr. Shortridge thought 

 these specimens to be rhesus and was naturally puzzled by the geogra- 

 phical distribution problem involved, because the specimens from the N. 

 Shan States were recorded as rhesus.

{See also Report No. 16.) 

 A specimen No. 4210 collected by Mr. Dawson, I.C.S., at Yin, was 

 recorded in the supplement to the Tenasserim Report. Mr. Shortridge 

 writes that it was probably got on the West bank of the River. 



" Fairly plentiful around Kin on the West bank of the Lower Chindwin, 

 not observed on the East bank of the River, nor on the Upper Chindwin 

 where it is probably replaced on the West by pileatus, which appears to 

 occur in the hills that run down from Manipur." — G.C.S.

This animal is strongly characterised by its bright ginger yellow under 

 parts and whiskers. 



" Apparently the Langur occurring on the West bank oE the Upper 

 Chindwin. Probably more confined to the hills than the other species."

A langur of the size and make of pileatus, of a clear blue grey colour 

 with hands and feet and the major part of the tail black, as are the 

 naked skin of the face, the moustache and eyebrows. The most 

 characteristic feature is the hair on the crown which, as in pileatus, is laid 

 straight back from the forehead, forming a ' cap ', and not radiating from 

 one or more points as in the langurs of the peninsula. 



"This langur occurs on the East bank of the Chindwin, between 

 Homalin and Hkamti, where it is plentiful. The face is entirely black 

 with no trace of white areas around mouth and eyes. The white tufts on 

 the ears are very conspicuous during life. Callosities bright orange brown. 

 Iris rather light brown. Weight of large male 28 — 30 lbs." — Gr.C.S.
