[377] I have seen most of the above-named monkeys in the Zoological Society's Gardens. The description of the _Semnopithecus nemaeus_ is taken from Mr. W. C. Martin's 'Nat.

[384] As in _Macacus cynomolgus_ (Desmarest, 'Mammalogie,' p.

65) and in _Hylobates agilis_ (Geoffroy St.-Hilaire and F.

Cuvier, 'Hist. Nat. des Mamm.' 1824, tom. i. p. 2).

[386] Mr. Blyth informs me that he has never seen more than one instance of the beard, whiskers, &c., in a monkey becoming white with old age, as is so commonly the case with us. This, however, occurred in an aged and confined _Macacus cynomolgus_, whose moustaches were "remarkably long and human-like."

Altogether this old monkey presented a ludicrous resemblance to one of the reigning monarchs of Europe, after whom he was universally nick-named. In certain races of man the hair on the head hardly ever becomes grey; thus Mr. D. Forbes has never seen, as he informs me, an instance with the Aymaras and Quechuas of S. America.

[387] This is the case with the females of several species of Hylobates, see Geoffroy St.-Hilaire and F. Cuvier, 'Hist. Nat.

des Mamm.' tom. i. See, also, on _H. lar_. 'Penny Encyclopedia,' vol. ii. p. 149, 150.

[388] The results were deduced by Dr. Weisbach from the measurements made by Drs. K. Scherzer and Schwarz, see 'Reise der _Novara_: Anthropolog. Theil,' 1867, s. 216, 231, 234, 236, 239, 269.

It is remarkable that in the United States ('Investigations in Military and Anthropological Statistics of American Soldiers,' 1869, p. 569) the pure negroes and their crossed offspring seem to have bodies almost as hairy as those of Europeans.
