taken in Travancore. In its nature it is more sulky and savage than the 

 next species, and is with difficulty taught to perform any feats of agility 

 or mimicry.

The Bengal Monkey. 



Descr. — Ahove brownish-ochrey or rufous ; in old individuals more 

 rufous, or rusty on the lower back and rump ; limbs and beneath, ashy< 

 brown ; callosities and regions in their vicinity, red ; face of adult males, 

 red ; tail, about half the length of the body ; hairs on the crown not radia- 

 ting. 



Length of one, about 22 inches (head and body) ; tail, 11 inches. 



This is the common monkey of all Northern India, extending South to 

 about N. L. 18' or 19°. I have observed it in Goomsoor and near Nag- 

 pore, but not further South. It extends into the Himalayas up to at least 

 4,000 or 5,000 feet of elevation. It frequents alike forest and groves in 

 the open country, and may be seen in abundance in many large towns and 

 villages in Northern India. It is very commonly tamed, and made to 

 exhibit various feats of agility. When old, the males especially become 

 somewhat savage, and less tractable than younger individuals. 



8. Inuus pelops. 



Macacus apud Hodgson. — M. assamensis, McLelland ? — Horsfield, 

 Gat. 21.— Blyth, Cat. 16. 



The Hill Mosesv. 



Z)escr.— Brownish-gray, somewhat mixed with slaty, and rusty-brown- 

 isk OD the shoulders in some ; beneath, Ught ashy-brown ; fur, fuller and 

 more wavy than in the last ; canine teeth, long ; of stout habit. Length 

 of one specimen, 20 inches ; tail, 9^ ; face and callosities less red than in 

 rhesus. 



There is still some doubt about the distinctness of this monkey from 

 rhesus ; as well as its idaitity with the Assam one, and the materials in
