  Two

  By 
  some 
  accident 
  the 
  synonymies 
  of 
  the 
  yellovv-liandcd 
  

   titis 
  have 
  got 
  confused 
  in 
  Prof. 
  Elliot's 
  recent 
  great 
  work 
  

   on 
  the 
  Primates. 
  He 
  calls 
  the 
  red-bellied 
  species 
  C. 
  tor- 
  

   quatus, 
  putting 
  C. 
  lugens 
  and 
  Saguinus 
  vidua 
  among 
  its 
  

   synonyms, 
  while 
  the 
  black-bellied 
  one 
  he 
  terms 
  amictus. 
  

   But 
  a 
  study 
  of 
  the 
  original 
  descriptions 
  of 
  these 
  four 
  animals 
  

   shows 
  that 
  while 
  torquatus 
  is 
  red-bellied, 
  luge/is, 
  amictus, 
  i\i\d 
  

   vidua 
  are 
  all 
  black-bellied 
  and 
  are 
  clearly 
  synonymous 
  with 
  

   each 
  other, 
  lugens 
  being 
  the 
  earliest 
  name. 
  Its 
  type-locality 
  

   is 
  the 
  Upper 
  Orinoco, 
  not 
  Olivencja, 
  Solimoens, 
  as 
  stated, 
  

   the 
  latter 
  locality 
  being 
  taken 
  from 
  iSpix, 
  whose 
  specimen 
  

   was 
  probably 
  C. 
  lucifer. 
  

  

  Specimens 
  of 
  this 
  group 
  are 
  very 
  rare 
  in 
  collections, 
  and 
  

   the 
  British 
  Museum 
  only 
  contains 
  six, 
  two 
  of 
  each 
  species, 
  

   as 
  follows 
  : 
  — 
  

  

  C. 
  torquatus.
