  The 
  specimen 
  has 
  a 
  very 
  worn 
  coat, 
  and 
  hairs 
  thinly 
  dispersed 
  on 
  

   limbs 
  and 
  under 
  parts. 
  While 
  the 
  coloring 
  is 
  dissimilar 
  to 
  that 
  of 
  P. 
  

   fascicularis 
  the 
  great 
  difference 
  between 
  it 
  and 
  the 
  Trong 
  Macaque 
  

   is 
  in 
  the 
  size 
  and 
  shape 
  of 
  the 
  skull 
  and 
  teeth. 
  The 
  skull 
  of 
  the 
  

   Sumatran 
  animal, 
  although 
  of 
  about 
  the 
  same 
  age, 
  is 
  apparently 
  one 
  

   third 
  smaller. 
  The 
  Trong 
  skull 
  has 
  a 
  low 
  crest 
  from 
  the 
  midfrontal 
  

   to 
  the 
  occiput; 
  the 
  rostrum 
  is 
  longer 
  and 
  broader; 
  zygomatic 
  width 
  

   greater; 
  nasals 
  wider; 
  bony 
  palate 
  deeper 
  and 
  longer; 
  teeth 
  larger, 
  

   incisors 
  more 
  than 
  twice 
  as 
  large; 
  mandible 
  longer 
  and 
  heavier, 
  the 
  

   ascending 
  ramus 
  broader 
  and 
  longer, 
  with 
  a 
  very 
  slight 
  inclination 
  

   backward. 
  

  

  A 
  single 
  specimen, 
  a 
  male, 
  from 
  Telibon 
  Island 
  has 
  a 
  smaller 
  skull, 
  

   and 
  the 
  color 
  of 
  the 
  animal 
  is 
  somewhat 
  different. 
  This 
  example 
  may 
  

   eventually 
  prove 
  distinct, 
  but 
  at 
  present 
  I 
  leave 
  it 
  under 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  

   the 
  Trong 
  Macaque.
