154 Report on the Mammalia and more remarkable [No. 2, 



nearly as large and powerful as Pr. entellus of Bengal, and which 

 is further distinguished from Pr. priamus by having no abruptly 

 rising compressed vertical crest, nor the radiating centre of hairs a 

 little behind the brow seen in the various other entelloid Monkeys. 

 Its white beard and whiskers are also more conspicuously developed, 

 and contrast strongly with the black face and dark body. According 

 to Dr. Kelaart, they are respectively known as the Maha or (* great') 

 Wanderoo, and the Sadoo (or ' white') Wanderoo. The Pr. cepha- 

 lopterus he indicates as the Kaloo (or * black') Wanderoo, and the 

 Macacus sinicus as the RiMwa of the Cinghalese.* Mr. Layard 

 states that Pr. cephalopterus is " the common black Monkey of 

 the maritime provinces, very common also in the Kandyan districts ; 

 about Trincomali it is replaced by Pr. thersites, and in the Jaffna 

 peninsula by Pr. priamus, which last is particularly abundant about 

 Point Pedro. "f Dr. Kelaart, however, has now presented the Society 

 with a fine adult male of the mountain or Kandyan representative of 

 Pr. cephalopterus from Newera Elia ; and it is quite as different from 

 the small animal of the coast as Pr. thersites is from Pr. priamus. 

 General aspect the same, but considerably larger and more powerful, 

 with a much longer and very full coat, the piles on the sides measur- 

 ing 4 to 5 in. long :% colour nearly uniform greyish brown-black, with 

 contrasting long white whiskers ; the brows, hairs on cheeks, and 

 those on the hands and feet, are deep black ; there are traces of a 

 paler tinge just perceptible on the occiput and about the croup ; and 

 the terminal three-fourths of the tail are grey. Entire length of hand 

 5 in., and of foot 6f in. It is probable that this mountain animal 

 varies in colour like Pr. cephalopterus of the coast, to black, grey, 

 grizzled, or light rufous-brown ; but all we have seen of the latter race 



* Here it may be repeated that the name Wanderoo, as applied to Pr. cepha- 

 lopterus in particular, has been transferred by most writers to a widely different 

 Monkey, of merely somewhat similar colouring, — the Macacus silenus, which 

 Inhabits Travancore and Cochin, but has not been observed wild in Ceylon. 



t According to a letter since received from Dr. Kelaart, Pr. priamus would 

 seem also to inhabit the hilly country about Kandy. 



X In this it resembles the other mountain species of the genus, as the Himalayan^ 

 Lunyur, Pr. schistaceus, Hodgson, (a very strongly marked race, for habits o 

 which vide J. A. S. XIII, 472,) and in a less degree Pr. Johnii of the Nilgiris.
