A black-brown Langur, with the inside of the thigh, in a narrowing line 

 down the inside of the hind leg, to the heel, pure white. 



"Apparently not at all plentiful — possibly only just extending into 

 Tenasserim — and rather shy. The facial area is very small and quite unlike 

 other Burmese and Indian Langurs. The mouth has the usual pinkish- 

 white area but the orbital region, though pale, is dusky flesh colour and 

 not a conspicuous feature. The two radiating centres on the forehead are 

 hardly visible during life, though very noticeable in dry skins.

Thomas has shown that the tardigradus of Linnaeus refers to the Cey- 

 lonese Slender Loris. The next oldest name is coucang, Bodd. The name 

 was given to Pennant's " Tailless Maucauco " from Bengal. We have no 

 specimen of a Bengal individual but when such is available, if it prove to be 

 distinct from the Tenasserim animal, the latter will have to take the name 

 cinereus, M.Edw. I have compared this specimen with one of the co-types of 

 cinereus and cannot detect any difference. 



This is a pretty little animal about 12 or 13 inches long. It has prac- 

 tically no tail. The hair is long, soft and curly. The colour is a warm 

 grey, washed more or less over the whole upper side of the body with rusty. 

 There is a narrow dark line from the base of the tail forward to the crown ; 

 at that point lines branch to the ears and eyes. 



''Apparently fairly well known on Mergui Island. Very savage, growling 

 like a cat when approached and always ready to attack anything placed 

 near it. Except for its rather slower movements very similar in general 

 habits to the Slender Loris.

This Bat differs from Cynopterus sphinx, the common Fruit Bat of India, 

 rather in size than in colouring. The fore arm is shorter and the ears 

 relatively smaller.
