MAMMAL SURVEY OF INDIA. 715 



"B]anforcl is incorrect in stating that even in the females of this species, 

 the frontal band is invariably conspicuously paler than the rest of the head. 

 Although, as in Hylobates lar, the sexes may vary in colour, the present set 

 shows that in all probability the male is normally black and the female 

 brown. 



Not nearly so plentiful in Hsipaw State as the Langur. The specimens 

 observed were going- about either singly or in pairs, although where plentiful 

 they are said to be gregarious." — G. 0. S. 



Vernacular name. — Wu-Wa (Shan).

 {See also Report No. 7.) 



These specimens belong to the Simia rhesus group, not Simia assamensis as 

 -might have been expected, as they are without the radiating parting, and 

 their colouring and general appearance are similar to rhesus. 



General colour grey, washed with yellow brown ; the head, shoulders, 

 .arms and hands being the darkest, while the hind quarters and hind legs 

 are the most yellow. Black hairs on the supraorbital ridge ; no radiating 

 parting on the head. Tail short and similar in colour to the hind quarters. 

 Head and body about 21 inches ; tail about 9 inches ; weight 14 lbs. None 

 of the above specimens are more than young adults. 



" Fairly plentiful in Hsipaw State ; apparently more local than Presbytis. 

 Like other Macaques often frequenting paddy fields and other cultivated 

 7lands. Rather shy. Gregarious though not observed in large parties." —
