  The 
  type 
  of 
  "Inuus" 
  pelops 
  Hodgson 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum. 
  

   It 
  was 
  mounted 
  but 
  has 
  been 
  made 
  into 
  a 
  skin 
  and 
  is 
  in 
  very 
  fair 
  con- 
  

   dition. 
  It 
  is 
  of 
  a 
  dull 
  brown 
  with 
  a 
  slight 
  yellowish 
  tinge 
  on 
  the 
  head 
  

   and 
  upper 
  parts, 
  the 
  hairs 
  not 
  annulated, 
  and 
  paler 
  on 
  the 
  rump 
  ; 
  outer 
  

   surface 
  of 
  arms 
  smoke 
  gray, 
  hands 
  blackish 
  ; 
  legs 
  like 
  rump, 
  a 
  darkish 
  

   clay 
  color 
  becoming 
  grayish 
  brown 
  at 
  ankles 
  ; 
  feet 
  covered 
  with 
  clay 
  

   colored 
  hairs 
  ; 
  tail 
  purplish 
  brown 
  ; 
  under 
  parts 
  and 
  inner 
  side 
  of 
  

   limbs 
  gray. 
  Hairs 
  on 
  head 
  radiate 
  from 
  a 
  center 
  as 
  described 
  by 
  

   Anderson 
  of 
  the 
  type. 
  There 
  can 
  be 
  no 
  doubt 
  that 
  this 
  is 
  an 
  immature 
  

   animal 
  of 
  P. 
  assamensis. 
  There 
  are 
  two 
  specimens 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  

   Museum 
  one 
  considerably 
  darker 
  than 
  the 
  other, 
  but 
  of 
  general 
  uni- 
  

   form 
  coloring 
  above, 
  the 
  hairs 
  without 
  annulations. 
  

  

  There 
  is 
  a 
  Macaque 
  in 
  the 
  Calcutta 
  Museum, 
  labelled 
  M. 
  assam- 
  

   ensis, 
  and 
  stated 
  to 
  have 
  come 
  from 
  Assam. 
  It 
  has 
  the 
  top 
  of 
  head, 
  

   upper 
  parts 
  of 
  body 
  and 
  sides 
  fox 
  red; 
  long 
  black 
  hairs 
  on 
  face; 
  

   sides 
  of 
  head 
  yellow 
  ; 
  arms, 
  hands 
  and 
  sides 
  paler 
  red 
  than 
  body 
  ; 
  legs 
  

   below 
  knees 
  reddish 
  yellow; 
  lower 
  parts 
  of 
  body 
  and 
  inner 
  side 
  of 
  

   limbs 
  yellowish 
  white; 
  tail 
  pale 
  red 
  above, 
  golden 
  beneath; 
  callosities 
  

   not 
  large, 
  red. 
  This 
  is 
  a 
  handsome 
  monkey; 
  the 
  colors 
  fox 
  red 
  and 
  

   golden 
  yellow 
  ; 
  the 
  face 
  apparently 
  pale 
  red. 
  It 
  would 
  seem 
  to 
  be 
  too 
  

   red 
  for 
  P. 
  assamensis 
  and 
  nearer 
  the 
  color 
  of 
  P. 
  rufescens, 
  which, 
  

   however, 
  appears 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  resident 
  of 
  Tenasserim, 
  and 
  not 
  known 
  as 
  

   from 
  Assam. 
  

  

  The 
  types 
  of 
  Mammals 
  in 
  the 
  Collection 
  of 
  the 
  East 
  Indian 
  

   Museum 
  were 
  supposed 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  deposited 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum, 
  

   but 
  after 
  diligent 
  search 
  the 
  type 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  could 
  not 
  be 
  found, 
  

   and 
  there 
  are 
  no 
  records 
  extant 
  to 
  show 
  it 
  ever 
  was 
  in 
  the 
  latter 
  

   Institution. 
  Anderson 
  saw 
  it 
  in 
  the 
  Indian 
  Museum 
  when 
  he 
  was 
  in 
  

   London 
  and 
  gives 
  (1. 
  c.) 
  the 
  following 
  description 
  of 
  it: 
  "The 
  type 
  of 
  

   M. 
  assamensis 
  in 
  the 
  Indian 
  Museum, 
  London, 
  is 
  an 
  adult 
  male. 
  It 
  is 
  

   a 
  stuffed 
  specimen, 
  but 
  the 
  skull 
  has 
  been 
  removed 
  from 
  the 
  skin 
  and 
  is 
  

   not 
  in 
  the 
  Museum. 
  This 
  monkey 
  differs 
  from 
  all 
  adult 
  animals 
  of 
  

   the 
  common 
  monkey 
  of 
  the 
  plains 
  of 
  India, 
  which 
  have 
  come 
  under 
  my 
  

   observation, 
  in 
  the 
  anterior 
  half 
  wanting 
  the 
  ashy 
  tint 
  which 
  is 
  so 
  

   characteristic 
  of 
  the 
  adults, 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  hinder 
  portion 
  of 
  the 
  body 
  being 
  

   in 
  no 
  way 
  rufous. 
  The 
  fur 
  too 
  is 
  almost 
  completely 
  devoid 
  of 
  annula- 
  

   tions, 
  and 
  the 
  hair 
  around 
  the 
  face 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  chin 
  is 
  longer 
  than 
  in 
  

   animals 
  from 
  the 
  plains. 
  The 
  general 
  color 
  of 
  this 
  old 
  specimen 
  may 
  be
