SEMNOPITHEOUS. 27 



Semnopithecus HOLOTEPHREUS3 n. s. 



Uniform dark slaty gray passing into black on the fore-arm and hands, and also 

 on the feet. Under parts and inside of front limb and thighs pale-yellowish grey. 

 Head slightly crested over vertex, but only with a feeble tendency to lateral 

 compression. Supraorbital hairs moderately long and black. Whiskers rather 

 long, directed backwards and outwards, hiding the ears in front. Pace bluish black ; 

 area around the eyes and the lips white. 



The nasal region of the skull is rather prominent, nearly straight, and 

 moderately broad, with the orifice narrow and rather long. Supraorbital ridges 

 are well developed, and the orbits are nearly round and of moderate size. The 

 premaxillaries form a slightly expanded suture with the nasals. The last-men- 

 tioned bones are about half the lateral length of the premaxillaries. The palate 

 has moderately broad margins, very slightly posteriorly convergent.

The pelage of the types of this species is pale silvery grey on a darkish back- 

 ground which passes into deep black on the hands and feet. There is a strong 

 supraorbital line of black hairs which, however, project outwards and backwards, 

 and the cheeks are covered with long grey hairs. The hairs on the flanks are long, 

 silky and grey. The under parts are greyish. The tail is longer than the body 

 and grey. The young is bright orange-yellow, except on the top of the head, the 

 antibrachium and feet, which are blackish. The colour of the face in life is not 

 known.
