This Macaque appears to persist truer to type, no matter where 

 it comes from, than any other species of the genus. There may be 

 a slight variation in size, and in the width of the black dorsal area, 

 perhaps a slight difference in the depth of hue of the limbs, and there 

 may be individual differences in skulls, but these never are sufficient 

 to cause tlieir possessors to take a separate rank, nor are they confined 

 to examples of a restricted locality. Therefore it has been found pos- 

 sible to recognize only this and the two following species, irrespective 

 of the locality whence the individual may have come. The type of 

 P. brocHs in the United States National Museum, has been examined 

 with Mr. Miller's assistance, and compared with a far greater amount 

 of material than was available when he described the form, and we 

 have decided that it cannot be separated from P. nemestrinus and will 

 have to become a synonym.
