Messrs. Elliot and Blyth, at one time separated from P. entellus a race 

 or variety, under the name of P. anchises, Elliot. It nearly corresponds in 

 color with P. entellus, but has the hands and feet much less black than 

 that species, and the hair of greater length, that of the toes particularly 

 being remarkably long ; and the hairs moreover are straight, not wavy, as 

 in Entellus. This race was founded, I believe, on a single skin from the 

 table-land of Southern India, and further specimens are required to estab- 

 lish it satisfactorily as a distinct species. Mr. Blyth, indeed, in his Cata- 

 logue, now puts it as a variety of Entellus. As before stated, however, 

 I think it by no means impossible that another race does take the place of 

 Entellus in the Southern portion of Central India.

The Himalayan Languk. 



Descr. — Dark slaty above ; head and lower parts, pale yellowish ; hands 

 concolorons with body, or only a little darker; tail slightly tufted ; hair on 

 the crown of the head, short and radiated, on the cheeks long, directed 

 backwards and covering the ears. In old individuals the general color is 

 gray, inclining to hoary, and the head yellowish-white. Grows to a larger 

 size than Entellus. A moderately sized one measured, head and body 30 

 inches, tail 36. 



This fine species has only of late been fully recognised in Europe as dis- 

 tinct from Entellus, much to the surprise of observers in India. It is 

 foimd along the whole range of the Himalayas, from Nepal to far beyond 

 Simla, but has not to my knowledge been actually procured in the Sikim 

 Himalayas. Mr. Hodgson says, that it inhabits the Terraie and. lower hiUs 

 of Nepal, being rare in the Cachar, or upper range. Further west, however, 

 it ascends to nearly 12,000 feet, at which elevation I saw it in Kumaon, 

 in summer ; whilst Captain Hutton states, that he has seen them leaping 

 and playing about at an elevation of 11,000 feet, while the fir-trees among 

 which they sported were loaded with snow-wreaths. It is common about 

 the stations of Nynee Tal, Mussoorie, and Simla, and extends much fmiher 

 West. Its reputed absence in Sikim is only founded on negative evidence, 

 and I heard of some Langurs having been seen near Punkabari, about 1,600 

 feet of elevation, and that some of this herd actually used to seize fruit and
