are dealt with in the Appendix. 



The detail in which the Survey is now being carried out is, I 

 believe, already a strain on the finances available, and any more 

 ' intense ' collecting is c[uite out of the question ; it is clear therefore, 

 if the results of the Surveys are to be supplemented, and linked up, 

 it can only be done by the exertions of local residents. I venture 

 to offer the above-named gentlemen rj\y best thanks, and to express 

 a hope that they will continue to take an interest in the Mammal 

 Fauna around them and to help forward the study of them.

 5 5. Mt. Popa. 

 "Plentiful on Mt. Popa. Occurring in the Dry zone on both sides of the 

 Irrawady, but apparently rare away from jungle or hills. Though a typical 

 Macaque in its habits, and occasionally to be found around village gardens 

 and crops, this species does not seem to have become semi-tame in habits 

 like rhesus and sinicus of India. The species seen by Anderson near 

 Yenangyaung, on the Irrawady, about 30 miles to the south of Popa, was 

 undoubtedly this species. Bare skin on face of all specimens obtained 

 dusky, never red."^ — G.O.S.

Presbytis, sp. 



There is a single specimen of Langur, collected by Mr. G-. "W. Dawson, 

 included in this collection. The skull is missing. The animal was obtained 

 in Yin, Lower Chindwin. Our collection from Chindwin may later enable 

 a name to be put on this specimen at present I prefer fco leave it unnamed.

 referable to the next species.) 



" Fairly plentiful on the higher slopes of Mt. Popa, which is, without 

 doubt on account of the physical conditions of the country, the northern 

 limit of the range of this species to the east of the Irrawady, further north 

 and on the Shan Hills it is replaced by P. barbei, further south the water- 

 shed of the Sitang River probably divides the two species. The Burmese 

 Leaf Monkeys differ in many of their habits from the Indian Langurs, they
