FASCICULI MALATEIASES 
3 
‘In Upper Perak it is believed by the Malays that • different species of 
gibbon inhabit the two banks of the Perak River, and this belief is, to some 
extent, born out by the cries heard by myself (sec Anthropology^ part I, p. i). 
I was surprised to see a gibbon, a white individual {H, lar^ Linn.), among the 
mangrove swamps at the mouth of the Trang River ; possibly it had escaped 
from captivity, as in the Malay Peninsula the genus Hylohates is usually confined 
to hilly ground cov'ered with bamboos or dense jungle. The Siamese of 
Trang believe that all gibbons are females, being the other sex of the lotong 
{Preshytes)^ which, they say, is always male.’ — N.A. 
Macacus nemestrinus (Linn.) 
‘ The “ broh ” is frequently met with in captivity in the Patani States, but 
it is doubtful if it occurs wild in the districts we visited. It is often trained, 
especially by the Siamese, to pluck the nuts from the cocoanut palms, and 
captive specimens occasionally attain a very large size, but are apt, when full 
grown, to become morose and savage. 
‘ This monkey is not uncommon near the villages of Upper Perak, and 
I believe that I have seen at least one troop in South Perak, at Gedong. It 
is captured in large numbers at Malacca, and is abundant on the outskirts of 
the town of Singapore, especially in the grounds of a Mahommedan shrine near 
the Tanjong Pagar docks.’ — N.A. 
Macacus sp. (?) 
‘ In a patch of jungle, not far from Biserat, I came across a very large 
species allied to the preceding. I had only a light collecting gun with me and 
No. 12 shot, so I was unable to secure it, but as it was very leisurely in its 
movements I had an excellent view of it. In general colour it resembled 
M. nemestrinus^ but excelled in size the largest specimen I have seen of that 
species, and possessed a very marked ruff of almost white hair round its face. 
The tail was very short, not more than about three inches in length.’
