184 PITHECUS 



general conclusions reached by the Author are but little at 

 variance with the opinions held by Mammalogists, regarding 

 these Monkeys, at the present time. In a footnote to the article 

 on Macacus ochreatus he gives the synonymy and description 

 of the two forms of Cynopithecus then known as C. nicer 

 and C. nigrescens — C. nicer.

 London. 



In some critical notes on the nomenclature of Indian Mammals 

 the writer discusses the names that should properly belong to 

 Simia silenus Linn., and Simla cynoniolgos Linn., and endeavors 

 to prove, first, that the animals to which these names were 

 applied are undeterminable, and that Linnaeus' names must be 

 dropped from our list. The Macaque which is called silenus 

 Auct., was first designated Simia albibarbatus by Kerr, and 

 by that name it must be known in the future ; but Simia cyno- 

 molgos Linn., = Simia hamadryas Linn., and becomes its 

 synonym.

The Macaques, inhabiting the regions of whose fauna this work 

 treats, are included in the genus Macacus. Nine species are 

 recognized as follows: (M.) rhesus; (M.) assamensis; (M.) 

 silenus (nee Linn.), = P. albibarbatus (Kerr); (M.) arc- 

 toides — P. SPECiosus (Cuv.) ; (M.) leoninus — P. andaman- 

 ENSis Bartl. ; (M.) nemestrinus; (Af.) cynoniolgos (nee 

 Linn.), = P. irus (F. Cuv.); {M.) sinicus; and (M.) 

 piLEATUS; all valid. The geographical distribution and 

 description of the habits of these Monkeys are given.
