17. M. radiatus. Peninsula of India. 



18. M. sinicus. Southernmost part of ditto, and Ceylon.f 

 Although I have here followed the usual order of classifying these 



three groups, I am nevertheless of opinion that the division comprising 

 the Cyncoephali, Macaci, and Cercopitheci, (i. e. the genera with 

 cheek-pouches,) should precede that of the Semnopitheci and Colobi 

 (or the genera with sacculated stomachs). The facial angle can no 

 longer be considered as a guide to the relative elevation of these 

 animals in the scale of being, now that the adult Orangs, for example, 



* The Semn. for Presbytis) nobilis, Gray, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist. 1842, p. 256, 

 I cannot but regard as requiring confirmation as an inhabitant of India proper. 



f This is doubtless the species noticed by Mrs. Graham in Ceylon, where that lady 

 mentions " Swarms of red Monkeys playing in the trees overhead." (Journal of a 

 Residence in India', p. 104.) I have reason to conclude also that this, and not the 

 Lungoor, is the Rollewai of the Singhalese.
