ADDENDUM 



The multitude of synonyms applied to most of the Primates is a source 

 of much confusion. Dr D. G. Elliot has published recently (1912) a mag- 

 nificent work in which be has endeavoured to standardize the names to be 

 applied to the various species. As the memoir in question (A Review of the 

 Primates, Monographs of the American Museum of Natural History, Mono- 

 graph Series, Vols, i— hi) is of classical value, I have selected from it the 

 names there given as the standard equivalents of those used in the present 

 work. The list of synonyms is given in the following list : 



Name employed in text. Name as given by Elliot. 



Anthropopithecus. Pan. 



Ateles. Ateleus. 



Cheiromys. Daubentonia. 



Cynocephalus. Papio. 



Cercopithecus. Lasiopyga. 



Chrysothrix. Saimiri. 



Hapale. Callithrix. 



Macacus. Pithecus. 



Mycetes. Alouatta. 



Semnopithecus. Pygathrix. 



Simia. Pongo. 



The remaining names agree with those adopted by Dr Elliot. The substitu- 

 tion of Pygathrix for Semnopithecus demands special notice, for Dr Pilgrim 

 (Records of the Geological Survey of India, Vol. xlv, Part i) states in the 

 present year (1915) that the official term should be Presbytis. Reference to 

 Dr Elliot's work shews on the contrary that in point of priority, the term 

 adopted by Dr Elliot {Pygathrix) is to be preferred.
