molar series, 27.1; length of mandible, 63.9; length of lower molar 
series, 31.1. 
Blanford says this species is shy and wary, the result of human 
persecution. It inhabits the sholas or dense but abruptly limited woods 
of the Nilgiris and other high ranges of Southern India, and is also 
found in the forests on the slopes of the hills, usually in small troops 
of from five to ten individuals. It is very noisy, having a loud guttural 
alarm cry, used also to express anger, and a loud long call. Jordan 
relates that when the sholas of the Nilgiri range were beaten for game, 
these monkeys made their way rapidly and with loud cries to the 
lower portion and thence to a neighboring wood at a lower level. 
In consequence of the beauty of their skins, and the circumstances 
that certain castes eat their flesh, these monkeys are more frequently 
shot than most of the Indian species, hence their shyness.
