main in some of the deep warm valleys."* Elsewhere, he remarks, 

 " I have long thought that the Lungoor of our parts must be distinct 

 from the S. entellus of Bengal, on account of the different locality in 

 which it is found, for assuredly were the Entellus to occur here in 

 summer, it would retire to the plains on the approach of winter. Our 

 species, on the contrary, seems to care nothing for the cold ; and after 

 a fall of snow a glen on my estate which opens to the N. W. is crowd- 

 ed with them. In fact, I really believe they are more numerous 

 during the cold than during the hot weather. On the Simla side, I 

 observed them also, leaping and playing about while the fir-trees 

 among which they sported were loaded with snow-wreaths. I have 

 seen them at an elevation of little short of 11,000 ft. even in the 

 autumn, when hard frost occurred every night, and that was at Hattoo 

 or Whartoo mountain, three marches in the interior from Simla. * * * 

 It grows to a goodly size, and is rather a formidable looking fellow." 

 Captain Hutton's suggestion that the Himalayan Lungoor must be 

 different from the Bengal Hoonuman, because of the diversity of 

 climate which they inhabit, is in part nullified by the fact that the 

 Macacus rhesus inhabits alike the Himalaya and the Bengal Soonder- 

 buns ; and it also remains to ascertain how high the S. entellus may 

 extend upon the Northern mountains of Assam : moreover it is by no 

 means clear, from the above descriptions, that Capt. Hutton's Mus- 

 soorie Lungoor is identical with Mr. Hodgson's Nepalese species. 



Returning now to the determination of the Simiadcc found eastward 

 of the Bay of Bengal, Dr. Heifer mentions two species of Macacus, 

 stating that " the Cercopithecus cynosurus [cynomolgus ?~\ inhabits 

 chiefly the banks of rivers, and the mangrove forests, being chiefly 

 fond of shell-fish": and that "Another species of Cercopithecus be- 

 longs to the rarest of this genus, and is found chiefly in the northern 

 parts, upon isolated limestone rocks." There can be little or no 

 doubt that the two following are the species referred to: and to Capt. 

 Phayre is due the credit of first securing specimens of these animals 



* In J. A. S. VI, 935, Capt. Hutton states, of the M. rhesus — " This species 

 I saw repeatedly during the month of February, when the snow was five or six inches 

 deep at Simla, roosting? in the trees at night, on the side of Jaku, and apparently 

 regardless of the cold." — Journal of a Trip to the Burenda Pass.
