304 CACAJAO 



and it is hardly worth while to add to difficulties already existing, and 

 which are quite sufficient to give the investigator trouble enough, 

 without bestowing names on possible species that the describer has 

 never seen! I have included Schlegel's name among the synonyms of 

 this species, on the strength of the Scotch verdict "not proven." The 

 so called white Uakari is probably an immature individual of the 

 present species.

Bates in the work from which extracts have already been taken 

 says : "A most curious fact connected with this monkey is the existence 

 of an allied form, or brother species, in a tract of country lying to the 

 west of its district. This differs in being clothed with red instead of 

 white hair, and has been described by Isidore Geoffroy St. Hilaire
