 two skeletons 99 (119). 



Jentink ') has already shown , that Semnopithecus ferrugineus of 

 Schlegel can not be separated from S. melalophus Raffles, as they 

 are distinguished exteriorly only by a slight diflerence in tinge, and 

 that the diflerence in nuraber of ribs, as believed by Schlegel s ) does 

 not exist really. I can confirm this view in every particular and can 

 add a new argument against Schlegel's opinion. Comparing the ske- 

 leton of two specimens, both shot at Manindjau and both belonging 

 to S. melalophus, after the description of Schlegel, one has 13 ribs 

 but only 5 lumbal vertebrae, the other has 12 ribs but 6 lumbal ver- 

 tebrae. The number of ribs is therefore not specifically different as 

 already stated by Jentink. 



Schlegel believes, that S. ferrugineus lives in the plains and 

 mountainous district of Padang and is substituted in the South-East 

 of Sumatra by S. melalophus. 



Now I have found both together in the same district, I may say 

 living together. Therefore also this argument for separating S. mela- 

 lophus and ferrugineus can not be sustained. 



Semnopithecus maurus Schreber.

Cercocebus. 



Cercocebus cynamolgus Schreber. 



Sumatra: Manindjau; skeleton cf (175). 



Flores: Bari; cf (71) and a skull found in the forest. 



Besides these I saw specimens at Keo and Sikka at the North- 

 and South-coast of Flores, along the shore and on riversides. 



In South-Celebes I noticed a specimen in captivity at Pare-Pare and 

 my Malay hunters observed a specimen in the forest at Loka near 

 Bonthain.
