Neither M. rhesus nor 31. assamensis were included in Blyth's posthumous 

 Catalogue of the Mammals of Burma/ because it was not until the expedition of 1875 

 that I received the first from the valley of the Irawady on the authority of Dr. 

 Marfels, the Conservator of Eorests to the King of Burma, and it was only on 

 the same occasion that I procured an example of the last from the second defile 

 of tlie Irawady below Bhamo. 



A monkey thus in no way separable from the Indian M. rhesus would appear to 

 "stretch across Burma to the hills defining the left bank of the valley of the Irawady, 

 and to be associated in the same region with the next species, the distribution of 

 which, however, would appear to be more restricted to the northern portion of 

 the valley. 



With regard to M. oinops, a careful consideration of the characters assigned 

 to it by Hodgson does not reveal a single feature by which it may be separated
