the museum of the Asiatic Society are insufiScient to form a decided opin* 

 ion. Major Hutton, however, considers that he has obtained this monkey 

 in the interior of the Mussoorie hills, where it replaces rhesus at a high 

 elevation ; and he had one or two young individuals alive which showed 

 the wavy fur noted by Hodgson. 



Hodgson in the last edition of his Catalogue has, in addition to rhesus 

 and pelops, another species which he names in M8S. Macacus sikimensis. 

 If this be distinct from the other two, it may be assamensis ; and it is per- 

 haps the monkey, not rare near Darjeeling at from 4,000 to 5,000 feet 

 high, which I considered to be rhesus, and which is very destructive to the 

 fields of Indian com. 



Other species of Inuus are /. nemestrinus, from the Tenasserim pro- 

 vinces and Malayana ; and /. leoninus, Blyth, from Arrakan, perhaps the 

 same as /. arctoides of Is. Geoffroy. 



Gen. MACAcns. 



Tail longer than in Inuus, and face not so lengthened ; otherwise as in 

 that genus.

 and somewhat ashy on the outer sides of the limbs ; hairs on the crown of 

 the head, radiated; taU, dusky-brown above, whitish beneath. Length 

 of one, head and body, 20 inches ; tail, 15. 



This monkey is found over all the Southern parts of India, extending 

 North to N. L. 18°, or thereabouts, where it is replaced by Inuus rhesus. 

 " It abounds," says Mr. Elliot, " over all this portion of country, sometimes 

 inhabiting the wildest jungles, and at others living in populous towns, and 

 carrying off fruit and grain from the shops of the dealers with the greatest 

 coolness and address." 



It is the monkey most commonly found in Menageries, and led about 

 to show various tricks and feats of agility, It is certainly the most
