There can be no doubt that this specimen belongs to the same species as 
that referred to in the description of S. femoralis. As to whether 6*. femoralis 
and S. alhocinereus are one and the same species or not is a matter which can- 
not at present be satisfactorily settled. The typical femoralis is quite distinct 
from the typical alhocinereus but apparently intermediate forms may occur. 
S. siamensis of Muller should apparently stand as a synonym of S. 
femoralis^ and according to the original description, Muller’s type was a dark 
coloured monkey and not ‘ clear ashy grey ’ as stated by Anderson. The 
original type locality of S. femoralis is Sumatra, so that further series may well 
prove it to be distinct from siamensis. 
‘ I know nothing of this species except that it probably replaces the fore- 
going in the denser jungle towards the centre of the Peninsula, where if appears 
to be well known to the natives under the name of ‘ kaka.’ It is extra- 
ordinarily agile and shy, and the one troop that we saw kept to the tops of the 
loftier trees in a patch of thick jungle near Mabek. Semnopitheci were very 
abundant, but I think that all that we saw between Mabek and Biserat belonged 
to S. ohscurus.' 
Pres bytes sp. (?) 
On Bukit Besar Annandale saw a large brown monkey with an entirely 
black face and a very long tail ; it was not improbably S. maurus.

a. $ ad. Jambu, Jhering. 7th June, 1901. 
b. 9 iid. Biserat, Jalor. i8th October, 1901. 
Both these individuals belong to the variety described by Mr. Blanford as 
N. hengalensis (Geoffr.)
