of extending the expansion of the »osseous frame for the support of the hymeneal
swellings. There is a marked inward bending of the posterior half of the ilium
without any corresponding eversion of the ischium, and the acetabula are thus
thrown more inwards towards the mesial line, and by these modifications, which
are most marked in the female pelvis, the span of the pubic arch and the expansibility
of the surrounding parts are considerably reduced, and the outlet of the
pelvis to that extent that it seems improbable that it could permit of the discharge of
the young of the size given birth to by Macaques of the dimensions of M. cyclopis.
Dr. Mûrie also describes the ilium as anteriorly overriding the sacrum far
more than is ordinarily the case, i. e., that the sacrum is projected into the pelvis.
This condition would seem to be analogous to that deformity of the human pelvis
arising from insufficient strength of its walls,1 in which the sacrum is projected into
the outlet of the pelvis, and the acetabula (as before described in M. cyclopis)
approach the middle line, while the pelvic bones are pressed forwards and downwards
between them.
Such considerations as the foregoing would seem to indicate that the
conditions of these pelves may have a different explanation than that given by
Dr. Murie.
Dr. Gray, in the appendix to his Catalogues of Monkeys,2 compares M. sancti-
johannis to M. cyclopis, but the origin of this comparison I have explained under
M. sancti-johannis.

General oolour brownish olive, tending to olive-grey on the outside of the
limb. The hairs are grey at the base, but the terminal halves are annulated
with black and dull yellow. TJnder surface of the body and tail and the inside of
the limbs whitish, the upper surface of the tail being ooncolorous with the back.
The hairs on the head radiated. Face nude, with the exception of a few hairs
on the upper lip and on the sparsely clad forehead, which is permanently wrinkled
even in the young. The face and the other nude parts are livid flesh-coloured,
the ear somewhat prominent. The cheeks are hollowed, and the muzzle is rather
narrow and somewhat protuberant.

An adult female recently sent to the Zoological Gardens in Calcutta by
Dr. Bidie of Madras has her face and ears more suffused with bright scarlet than
any M. rhesus I have seen. She has not been sufficiently long under observation to
permit of it being ascertained for what length of time this flushing will last. Her
nipples are very large and pendent.
Inhabits the southern parts of India.
The variety alluded to by Jerdon as existing on the Eastern Ghâts seems to
me to be only the adult of this species.
The undermentioned species,1 which is extremely doubtful, has been included
by Blyth in his Catalogue of Mammals, but there is no evidence that such a
form exists in Eormosa beyond what is here stated.

The only information regarding this monkey is contained in a letter from Mr. Swinhoe to Mr. Blyth, published
fifteen years ago, and a note by the latter naturalist on a living specimen said to have been procured from the Island
of Formosa.
Mr. Swinhoe, in forwarding to the Calcutta Mnseom the skull of a Zfooojoo which ho hod received from Formosa
and had kept alive for several months, designated the animal the small Formosan monkey and described it an a native
