Larger and more powerful than the Indian M. rhesus, with longer and more
richly coloured fur. In the male, dark, rich, olive-yellowish, with a tint of slaty
olive on the head, neck, and anterior half of tho trunk, brick-red on the hinder
quarters, the slaty olive of the extremities passing almost into black on the hands
and feet. Under parts greyish. The female is a brilliant fawn, with a tinge
of reddish, this colour being most marked on the hind quarters. Face in both
sexes flesh-coloured, richest in the female. Tail of the ■ latter about one-fourth
the length of the body.
The type of M. lasiotis, Gray,1 is said to have been procured from the province
of Tse-chuen, but the circumstance th a t it was a captive during the greater part of
its life somewhat detracts from its value as an example of the rhesus-like monkey
of that portion of China.
The measurements of the skin now in the British Museum prove th a t it must
have been about the same size as M. assamensis, as it measures 25-3 inches from the
muzzle to the root of the tail, a fragment of which only exists, as has been conclusively
shown by Dr. Sclater.8
The characters of this monkey prove it to be closely affined to M. rhesus, but at
the same time the leading features of M. rhesus are so modified that it is apparently
entitled to rank as a species seemingly attaining to a greater size. The fur is
long, fine, and silky, longest on the shoulders, neck, and upper surface of the feet.
The annulation of the hair has, however, the same character as in Bengal examples of
M. rhesus. The basal portion is slaty, while the sub-terminal band is rich orange or
brick-red, hut the latter colour is more brilliant than in the Indian monkey, more
especially on the hinder quarters, where it is so intense as effectually to obscure
the underlying slaty and the narrow black tips, hut on the shoulders, neck, head,
and on the fore-legs it is not so marked, and does not hide the underlying slaty
colour of the fur which, mixed with the paler orange-red bands, confers a slaty-olive
According to the short account which has been published of this species, it differs from C. niger in being of a
brownish black tint, most prevalent on the shoulders and back. The iscbiatic callosities are also stated to differ
from those o f C. niger. -m- » • j

been introduced. Proo. Zool. Soc. 1864, p. 276.
