﻿PITHECUS 
  245 
  

  

  Dr. 
  Lyon 
  (1. 
  c.) 
  has 
  referred 
  these 
  specimens 
  to 
  (M.) 
  ph^eura 
  

   Miller, 
  overlooking 
  various 
  differences 
  both 
  in 
  skulls, 
  and 
  color 
  of 
  

   pelage. 
  The 
  latter 
  is 
  very 
  different, 
  much 
  darker 
  generally, 
  and 
  not 
  

   so 
  yellow 
  in 
  tone, 
  while 
  the 
  feet 
  are 
  a 
  yellowish 
  gray 
  quite 
  different 
  

   from 
  the 
  dark 
  feet 
  of 
  P. 
  ph^urus. 
  The 
  geographical 
  distribution 
  of 
  

   the 
  two 
  forms 
  would 
  seem 
  to 
  negative 
  the 
  idea 
  of 
  their 
  belonging 
  to 
  the 
  

   same 
  species.

  This 
  is 
  a 
  reddish 
  hued 
  Macaque, 
  with 
  a 
  long, 
  loose 
  coat, 
  and 
  a 
  long 
  

   tail, 
  not 
  very 
  much 
  like 
  any 
  of 
  the 
  other 
  species. 
  It 
  varies 
  in 
  

   coloration, 
  for 
  another 
  male 
  taken 
  on 
  the 
  same 
  day, 
  July 
  23, 
  has 
  none 
  

   of 
  the 
  reddish 
  hue 
  so 
  strongly 
  exhibited 
  by 
  the 
  type, 
  and 
  is 
  more 
  of 
  a 
  

   dark 
  brown 
  hue 
  with 
  a 
  yellowish 
  tinge. 
  The 
  limbs 
  and 
  tail 
  are 
  also 
  

   much 
  lighter. 
  The 
  skull 
  is 
  short 
  and 
  broad 
  for 
  its 
  length, 
  palate 
  broad, 
  

   and 
  the 
  tooth 
  rows 
  slightly 
  curved; 
  teeth 
  rather 
  large, 
  last 
  premolar 
  

   and 
  molars, 
  each 
  with 
  four 
  cusps 
  ; 
  teeth 
  of 
  lower 
  molar 
  series 
  smaller 
  

   than 
  those 
  in 
  the 
  upper.
