MAGUS Less., Man. Mamm., 1827, pp. 43, 44. Type Macacus maurus 

 F. Cuvier. 

 Gymnopyga Gray, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1864, p. 518. 



Head without crest ; face black ; tail rudimentary ; callosities pres- 

 ent. Rostrum lengthened, narrower than Cynopithecus. Skull more 

 like that of Pithecus. Braincase broad, rounded, slightly elevated 

 above orbital ridges, zygomatic arch much curved ; orbital ridge over- 

 hanging orbits ; nasals tapering very gradually to posterior end ; angle 

 of face not curving outward ; molar series large. 



The Monkeys of Celebes without hairy crest resemble the 

 Macaques much more than they do the crested or black Ape of that 

 island, and some neighboring ones. They have short thick-set bodies, 

 with rudimentary tails, and judging from a living adult in the Zoologi- 

 cal Gardens at Kyoto, Japan, they would appear to reach a large size. 

 Not much is known about them, and adult examples are very rare in 

 the Museums of the world.
