Of Pr. anchises, Elliot, XIII, 470, I can only exhibit a skin sent on loan 

 by that gentleman. This is the common species of the elevated table-land 

 of the peninsula of India; and is remarkable for the great length of its hair 

 generally, that upon its toes imparting the appearance of a Spaniel's paw. 



Pr. hypoleucos, nobis, X, 839, XII, 170, XIII, 470 : Semnopithecus Dussu- 

 mieri, Schinz : S. Johnii, var., Martin. An adult male, from Travancore* 

 presented by Dr. W. Coles of Madras. This species abounds along the range 

 of the Malabar ghats. Vide PL XXVI, fig. 1. 



Pr. albocinereus, (Desm). Adult male, nearly full grown female, and small 

 young ; presented by It. W. G. Frith, Esq. : mature female, presented by E. 

 Lindstedt, Esq. All from Malacca. In the preceding members of this genus, 

 constituting with others a subgroup peculiar to India proper, the hair of the 

 crown radiates from a centre, a little behind the brows : in the present 

 Malayan species, there are two such centres, placed laterally near together ; 

 and the hair of the occiput is somewhat lengthened and directed upwards, 

 terminating at the vertical crest which it aids to produce. Colour dusky grey- 

 brown above, more or less dark, with black hands and feet, and white under- 

 pays and inside of limbs, as also great part of the haunch and thigh exter- 

 nally : crown generally blackish, with admixture of white in the two radiating 

 centres ; and the upward-directed occipital hair is concolorous with the back, 

 or somewhat paler. Tail generally blackish except towards its base. The 

 small young resemble the adults, except in having a well-defined pale greyish 

 band on each side, separating the dusky hue of the back from the white of 

 the under-parts, and terminating in the white haunch. In this species, the 

 eye-lids appear to form the only white portion of the face, the skin of the 

 lips being dark. 



Pr. Phayrei, nobis : referred to Pr. obscurus in XIII, 466, where described. 

 Skin of an adult, presented by Capt. Phayre : two specimens of the young, 

 presented alive by Capt. Abbot. Common in Arracan. This much resembles 

 the preceding species in its colouring, but differs from it in many particulars. 

 There are no radiating centres on the crown ; but a much longer and less 

 dense, thin and compressed, vertical crest : the occipital hair is not length- 

 ened, and is directed downwards: the white of the under-parts scarcely 

 extends upon the inside of the limbs, and spreads much less on the sides, 

 which are dark like the back ; and the haunches and thighs are uniformly 

 coloured with the back : the whiskers also are dark, and very long, concealing 

 the ears in front ; whereas in Pr. albocinereus the ears are wholly visible : 

 J istly, the tail is generally more or less albescent to near its tip ; and the 

 1. >s are conspicuously white, and well furnished with white moustachial hairs 

 above, and similar hairs below. Vide PI. XXVI, fig. 3.
