In a paper on the "Saugethiere von Celebes und Philippinen 

 Archipel" three species are recorded, and placed in Cynopithe- 

 cus. C. MAURUS, C. NIGER and C. nigrescens, with remarks on 

 their distribution. Three plates are given with figures of ani- 

 mals of different ages all as (C.) maurus, (here called Maca- 

 cus maurus), and two of skulls of Macacus maurus (nee 

 Cuvier), and Cynopithecus nicer. The figures on the plates 

 represent different species, although not so recognized by the 

 Author. No. 1 from Bantimurung, southwest Celebes, is 

 an immature animal in the brown pelage, such as was described 

 by Gray as Macacus inornatus, and Macacus maurus F. Cuvier, 

 (nee Meyer), also an immature animal; Nos. 2 from Buton 

 Island, and 3 from Wandari, southeastern Celebes, also imma- 

 ture individuals = M. ochreatus; and Nos. 4 and 5, from 

 Tonkean, eastern Celebes, are Macacus maurus IMeyer, (nee 

 Cuvier).

In this paper the Author reviews the specimens in the Dresden 

 Museum, and comparing his Tonkean examples, called by him 

 in the previous paper, Macacus maurus, with an old male of 

 the true maurus from Pik von Bonthain in the extreme south 

 of the south western peninsula of Celebes, separates them as 

 Macacus tonkeanus = Magus tonkean us. On plate I a figure 

 is given of Magus maurus, an old male from Pik von Bon- 

 thain, and on plate II figures of its skull. 



GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF THE SPECIES. 



In the middle eastern peninsula of the Island of Celebes, M. ton- 

 keanus occurs, and in the southeastern peninsula M. ochreatus is 

 met with, and also in the islands of Muna and Buton ; and in the south- 

 western peninsula, and doubtfully in the Aru Islands, M. maurus 

 ranges.
