DR. J. ANDERSON ON THE MAMMALS 



observed by me was a small specimen that had been captured by 

 the Selungs for food. 



The only Batrachian worthy of note is the frog, Rana Dorice, 

 recently described by Boulenger from North Tenasserim, and of 

 which I obtained twenty specimens on King and Elphinstone 

 Islands ; so that it is probably widely distributed over the province 

 of Tenasserim. 



MAMMALIA. 



Order PRIMATES. 



Family Cercop ithecidje. 

 Semnopithecus obscurus, Reid. 



1 adult o" , Elphinstone Island ; 2 adults and 1 youug $ , 

 Mergui. 



Common in the forests about Mergui and on the islands of the 

 Archipelago, in large parties, including individuals of all ages. 



Macacus cynomolgus, Schreber. 



1 adult $ , caught in the fishing-stakes in Mergui harbour. 



This species occurs on the Mergui coast and in the forest 

 skirting the banks of tidal streams, where it may be observed at 

 low water on the muddy banks, wandering either alouc or in small 

 scattered parties, inserting its arm into holes and burrows in the 

 mud in search of the Crustacea which form part of its food, and 

 which it pulls out and devours. I also saw it in similar situations 

 on the islands near the mainland.
