  freshly 
  killed 
  specimen,

  individual. 
  The 
  

   description 
  shows 
  the 
  type 
  as 
  it 
  is 
  to-day, 
  but 
  allowances 
  will 
  have 
  to 
  

   be 
  made 
  for 
  lapse 
  of 
  time, 
  and 
  possibly 
  some 
  lack 
  of 
  careful 
  attention.

  Description 
  from 
  living 
  individual 
  in 
  the 
  

   Zoological 
  Gardens, 
  Calcutta. 
  

  

  The 
  name 
  leoninus 
  having 
  been 
  employed 
  by 
  Shaw 
  previously 
  

   (1. 
  c.) 
  for 
  P. 
  albibarbatus 
  (Kerr), 
  cannot 
  be 
  again 
  used, 
  and 
  Bart- 
  

   lett's 
  name 
  axdamanensis, 
  the 
  only 
  one 
  besides 
  Blyth's 
  bestowed 
  on 
  

   the 
  species, 
  will 
  have 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  one 
  by 
  which 
  this 
  monkey 
  must 
  be 
  

   hereafter 
  known. 
  This 
  is 
  unfortunate 
  as 
  this 
  animal 
  is 
  not 
  indigenous 
  

   to 
  the 
  Andaman 
  Islands 
  having 
  been 
  transported 
  there, 
  and 
  the 
  name 
  

   is 
  a 
  misleading 
  one, 
  but 
  its 
  adoption 
  appears 
  to 
  be 
  imperative.
