Thus the uterus of various species of semnopithecus seems to show a noteworthy correspondence with the same organ in woman.
On the Semnopithecus, S. Muller, 'Zoog. Bartlett informs me that all the hues become more pronounced in the male when adult, whilst in the female they remain as they were during youth. According to the coloured figures given by Solomon Muller, the male of Semnopithecus chrysomelas is nearly black, the female being pale brown.
The Semnopithecus frontatus likewise has a blackish face with a long black beard, and a large naked spot on the forehead of a bluish-white colour. The face of Macacus lasiotus is dirty flesh-coloured, with a defined red spot on each cheek.
In man the nose is much more prominent than in most monkeys; but we may trace the commencement of an aquiline curvature in the nose of the Hoolock Gibbon; and this in the Semnopithecus nasica is carried to a ridiculous extreme. The faces of many monkeys are ornamented with beards, whiskers, or moustaches. Isidore Geoffroy St.-Hilaire, 'Hist. Nat.

G. Mivart remarks, "is one of the most peculiar and aberrant forms to be found in the Order." 'Transactions, Zoolog. But it appears from M. Gaudry's wonderful discoveries in Attica, that during the Miocene period a form existed there, which connected Semnopithecus and Macacus; and this probably illustrates the manner in which the other and higher groups were once blended together.
And if, instead of putting Hapale out of its natural place, as Professor Bischoff most unaccountably does, we write the series of animals he has chosen to mention as follows: Homo, Pithecus, Troglodytes, Hylobates, Semnopithecus, Cynocephalus, Cercopithecus, Macacus, Cebus, Callithrix, Hapale, Lemur, Stenops, I venture to reaffirm that the great break in this series lies between Hapale and Lemur, and that this break is considerably greater than that between any other two terms of that series.

True enough, Doctor Bolter was seen in a sampan rowed by one of the Malays, and a minute or two later he was on deck. "Monkey, eh?" he said sharply, as he saw the animal. "Semnopithecus Maurus, I should say. What are you going to do with it?" "Dick was going to give it to you, sir," said Bob, smiling. "Give it to me?" cried the doctor. "Thanks; no, my man, I must draw the line somewhere.
