'' Fairly plentiful around Ngapyinin, opposite Kyouk Myoung, probably 

 wanderers from the Shan Plateau, which is not far from the river at this 

 point. It will probably not be found on the Irrawady below Mandalay, 

 where the country becomes too open, though how far south barbei extends 

 in the Shan States still remains to be shown. Though superficially very 

 like phayrei, the hair on the crown is not directed backwards but radiates 

 from a point above the forehead. There is no crest. In life the triangular 

 pale patch round the mouth is present in both species, but the actual white 

 hairs are more conspicuous in barbei. The pale ring round the eye in 

 phayrei is almost white, giving the appearance of a pair of spectacles, while 

 in barbei this ring only extends over a semicircle on the inner side of the 

 eye ; the distinction is lost in dried specimens." — G.O.S.
