  The 
  type 
  is 
  a 
  young 
  male, 
  and 
  is 
  very 
  much 
  darker 
  than 
  the 
  fine 
  

   living 
  animal 
  in 
  the 
  Zoological 
  Garden 
  at 
  Kyoto, 
  which 
  came 
  from 
  

   Formosa. 
  It 
  is 
  probable 
  that 
  when 
  the 
  type 
  should 
  have 
  reached 
  the 
  

   adult 
  state, 
  the 
  arms 
  would 
  have 
  become 
  lighter 
  from 
  an 
  increase 
  of 
  

   the 
  yellow 
  bands 
  on 
  the 
  hairs, 
  which 
  are 
  not 
  so 
  numerous 
  as 
  on 
  the 
  

   upper 
  parts. 
  There 
  is 
  no 
  indication 
  on 
  the 
  type, 
  nor 
  was 
  there 
  in 
  the 
  

   living 
  animal 
  in 
  Kyoto, 
  of 
  any 
  orange 
  red 
  hue 
  on 
  the 
  hinder 
  parts 
  or 
  

   thighs 
  so 
  characteristic 
  of 
  P. 
  rhesus. 
  The 
  Kyoto 
  animal 
  was 
  much 
  

   the 
  older, 
  and 
  looked 
  fully 
  adult. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Swinhoe 
  (1. 
  c.) 
  gives 
  the 
  following 
  account 
  of 
  this 
  monkey 
  

   as 
  learned 
  by 
  him 
  in 
  Formosa 
  : 
  "This, 
  as 
  far 
  as 
  I 
  could 
  learn, 
  was 
  the 
  

   only 
  species 
  of 
  Monkey 
  in 
  the 
  Island 
  of 
  Formosa. 
  It 
  affects 
  rocks 
  

   and 
  declivities 
  that 
  overhang 
  the 
  sea, 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  solitary 
  caverns 
  makes 
  

   its 
  abode. 
  On 
  the 
  treeless 
  mountain 
  in 
  the 
  S. 
  W. 
  called 
  Ape's 
  Hill, 
  

   it 
  was 
  at 
  one 
  time 
  especially 
  abundant, 
  but 
  has 
  since 
  almost 
  entirely 
  

   disappeared. 
  About 
  the 
  mountains 
  of 
  the 
  north 
  and 
  east 
  it 
  is 
  still 
  

   numerous, 
  being 
  frequently 
  seen 
  playing 
  and 
  chattering 
  among 
  the 
  

   steep 
  rocks, 
  miles 
  from 
  any 
  tree 
  or 
  wood. 
  It 
  seems 
  to 
  be 
  quite 
  a 
  rock- 
  

   loving 
  animal, 
  seeking 
  the 
  shelter 
  of 
  caves 
  during 
  the 
  greater 
  part 
  of 
  

   the 
  day, 
  and 
  assembling 
  in 
  parties 
  in 
  the 
  twilight, 
  and 
  feeding 
  on 
  

   berries, 
  the 
  tender 
  shoots 
  of 
  plants, 
  grasshoppers, 
  Crustacea 
  and
