SCIENTIFIC RESULTS FROM THE MAMMAL SURVEY. 443 



are very copious, are also remarkably elongated, extending consider- 

 ably beyond the tips of the toes, which thus present a Spaniel-like 

 appearance." The skins now before me do not differ to any marked 

 extent from the entellus series as regards the length of the coat, 

 many of the true entellus skins would seem to have longer hair on 

 the body, especially on the crown of the head, shoulders, and flanks, 

 than the Southern series, the hair on the feet of the two forms is 

 almost of equal length. 



In general colour anchises appears as rather a darker monkey, 

 without the silvery shine so evident on the coat of the Bengal 

 species. The light coloured crown is rather more yellowish and 

 more sharply cut off from the general dark colour of the neck and 

 body, in this respect resembling, to a small degree, the large Hima- 

 layan schistaceus. The general colour of the back and hind 

 quarters is rather darker, and the flanks are more strongly tinted 

 with yellow. The limbs are, in the majority of cases, darker, 

 especially the arms, which in the Kanara specimens are nearly 

 black like those of the Malabar Langur, P. hypoleucus. The hands 

 and feet are black or dirty brown. The ventral surface of the body 

 is much as in entellus, on the average rather richer in colour. The 

 tails all show a greater tendency to become bushy in the terminal 

 portion, more so than in any of the Northern specimens; the 

 terminal third is, as a rule, pure creamy white in colour. 



The skulls are on the average considerably smaller than those of 

 ^.vae entellus . The following is a comparison of the cranial dimen- 

 sions (in millimetres) of old male specimens of these two forms : — 



P. entellus. P. e. anchises. 



Basilar length . . . . 88, 85-3, 90-5, 84 



Zygomatic breadth . . 102, 103, 101-6, 100 



Orbital breadth. . . . 77-5, 80, 78'9, 76-1 



Palatilar length . . 48'4, 46-2, 47, 43-3 



Cheek teeth . . . . 36-7, 37-2, 35, 32-5 



At Bellary Mr. Shortridge collected a very large immature male ; 

 the teeth in this specimen are as large as in the largest of the true 

 entellus skulls. There appears to be a very large amount of varia- 

 tion in the size of these Southern Langurs, and the only conclusion 

 that I can come to at present is that large and small individuals 

 exist in every community. 



As regards colour variation we find an equally large range, some 

 of the specimens from the Gersoppa District, N. Kanara, are almost 

 as dark as the Malabar Langur, while others from Potoli, N. Kanara 

 are nearly as light in colour as some of the specimens of true, 

 entellus from the Central Provinces. 



Mr. Shortridge collected this Southern race of entellus at the 

 following localities : — Alvanar, E. ofDharwar; Hawsbhari, S. W. 

 of Dhaiwar; Devikop, S. of Dharwar ; Potoli, N. Kanara ; Jog, 

 (lersoppa, N. Kanara ; Bellary and S. E. Coorg."
