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 S. femoralis 
and S. albocimreus 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 albodnereus , 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 4 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 it 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 1 think that all that we saw between Mabek and Biserat belonged 
to S. obscurusA

On Bukit Besar An nan dale saw a large brown monkey with an entirely 
black face and a very long tail ; it was not improbably S. maurus .
