A somewhat peaked median crest on tlie vertex, long outwardly-directed 

 whiskers, and white eyelids and lips. 



The general colour is brown, passing into blackish brown on the antibrachium 

 and on the hands, and into the same colour on the anterior two-thirds of the feet 

 and on the last third of the tail. The back between the shoulders to the loins is 

 faintly washed with yellowish brown. The chin, chest, and belly are pale yellow, 

 passing on the inside of the brachium and thigh into brownish. ]^o pale streak on the 

 inside of the limbs. Lips and area around the eyes pinkish white, the remainder 

 of the face dark leaden. 



Length of body V 6-20, tail Y 9-20. 



The skull has the interorbital space of moderate length, the forehead rather 

 full, but the supraorbital ridges are not strongly developed, whilst the external 

 orbital angle of the frontal is rather prominent in adults. 



The greatest breadth of the orbits is from the internal frontal angle obliquely 

 downwards and outwards across the orbit, whereas in ^. barbel and S. obscurus the 

 orbits are nearly round. 



In the fully adult ferine male type, the ridges marking the attachments of the 

 temporal muscles do not meet in the middle line, but are separated by about an 

 interval of 1 inch. The brain-case is upwardly tilted, so that the occipital region is 

 nearly vertical. Associated with this upward tilting of the brain-case is a down- 

 ward slope of the facial region. 



This species has hitherto been recorded only from Arracan.

1 In Hist. Nat. de Mammif., this name is written melalophas, and in the Index melanophus, so both these terms 

 have come to be applied.
