1900.] MAMMALS 01? SIAM AND THE MALAY PENINSULA. 315 



6. Macacus arctoides Is. Geoffr. The Brown Stump-tailed 

 Monkey. 



Macacus arctoides, Blanf. Faun. Ind., Mamm. p. 17. 



Siamese. " Ling sayn/' 



There is a stuffed specimen in the Siamese Museum, of unknown 

 locality. 



Distribution. " Moupin in N.W. China, living on the snow-clad 

 mountains ; Upper Burma (Bhamo) ; Siam ; the Cachar and Kachin 

 hill-region on the western frontier of the Province of Yunnan, 

 China ; North-west Borneo, on the mainland opposite Labuan." 

 (Forbes, ' Handbook Primates,' ii. p. 8.) 



7. Macacus eufescens Anderson. The Rufous Stump-tailed 

 Monkey. 



Distribution. " Malay Peninsula." 



In Bangkok I saw a live monkey, said to have been caught in 

 the Laos country, which may have been M. rufescens or a variety 

 of M. arctoides ; the general colour of its hair was a conspicuous 

 yellow, the face brilliant red. It was a very large and powerfully 

 built male : its ferocity prevented a closer examination. 



There is a short-tailed monkey called by the Siamese " Ling 

 kabut." I did not succeed in finding out what it is ; but villagers 

 on the Bangpakong River, to whom I showed some pictures of 

 animals, pointed out the figure of Macacus leoninus on p. 19 of 

 Blanford's Indian Mammals as the " Ling kabut." 



N.B. — Macacus leoninus (Blyth). Blanford, Faun. Ind.. Mamm. 

 p. 20, says that Anderson has referred to this species a young animal 

 from Perak, but that the identification was very questionable. 1 



Distribution. Burma, Andamans (introduced), Siam (?). 



8. Macacus nemestbinus (Linn.). The Pig-tailed Monkey. 



Papio nemestrinus, Cantor, p. 6. 



Macacus nemestrinus, Blanf. Faun. Ind., Mamm. p. 20. 



" Berok " (pronounced " Broh ") of the Malays. 



" Broh " or " Coco-nut Monkey " of the English in the Straits 

 Settlements. 



Cantor says the Broh is found in Penang and on the Peninsula; 

 Ridley (Mamin. Malay Pen. p. 26) says it " is not really wild in 

 Singapore, but it is frequently kept in captivity, and, often escaping, 

 remains in a half-wild state, usually near the town. It is common 

 in the Peninsula in the denser jungles." Ridley also records this 

 species from Pahang (J. S. B. R. A. S. 1894, no. 25, p. 57). Kelsall 

 records it from Gunong Janeng, Johore (J. S. B. R. A. S. 1894, 

 no. 26, p. 16). In the Museum at Taiping there are several 



1 Sclater (P. Z. S. 1898, p. 280) mentions a fine adult male Macacus leoninus 

 living in the Marseilles Zoological Gardens, which is stated to have been brought 

 from Siam.
