10.' :c MACACAS RUFESCENS, Anderson. The Buddy Macaque. 

 Anderson, Zoological Researches, 1879, p. 79. Bonhote, 

 P.Z.S. 1900, p. 871. 



Face red, most brilliant round the eyes. General colour 

 of pelage a warm reddish brown, darker on the back. Crown 

 light in colour, hair short and radiating from a central point. 

 Tail about an inch long and covered with hair. 



Only one authentic specimen is known from the Peninsula ; 

 a female collected at Patalung, 7th April, 1899, by Messrs. 

 Evans and Laidlaw. The two previously collected examples in 

 existence were purchased at Singapore and Calcutta. None of 

 them are fully adult and further material is required before the 

 standing of the species can be properly determined. (An adult 

 female was obtained a few years ago by Dr. W. L. Abbott at 

 Victoria Point, the southern extremity of Tenasserim, but it has 

 not yet been reported upon). 



Suborder LEMUROIDEA. 



(Lemurs) 



Only one genus, Nycticebus, of this suborder occurs in 

 the Peninsular area. Young Malayan animals always have 

 four upper incisors, though sometimes one or two are missing 

 in adult individuals ; the lower canines only differ from the 

 incisors in their greater depth and the first premolar is so large 

 as to be mistaken for a canine. The tail is very short as is 

 the second digit of both hand and foot while the first of each 

 is long, opposable and widely divergent. The fur is exceedingly 

 dense and woolly and covers the face with the exception of 

 the muzzle.
