Chapter XII: Everett's Langur. Semnopithecus Everetti

_Semnopithecus everetti_, Thomas, P. Z. S., 1892, p. 582, pl. xli.; Hose,
Mamm. Born., p. 15 (1893).

(_Plate XXXVI._)

CHARACTERS.--Very closely allied and very similar to _S. hosii_ in size and coloration, but the white is everywhere replaced by dull cream-colour, giving a yellowish wash to the mixed grey of the back and tail; shoulders and middle of back darker; under surface of body and light parts of head cream-colour, instead of white; whole of the forehead and top of the head black, the lower limit of the black passing across the middle of the ear; entire back of neck black; spot in the centre of the forehead above where the eyebrows meet, yellowish-white. The colour of the face, cheeks, and sides of the neck, in contrast to the dark crown, distinguish this species from _S. chrysomelas_. Length of body, 21¾ inches; of tail, 25¾ inches. (_Thomas._)

"Since Mr. Thomas described this Monkey," writes Mr. C. Hose in his "Mammals of Borneo," "I have obtained several other specimens, ... and the marking is quite constant."
