MAMMALIA. 753 



incorrectly named Wanderoe, a name which belongs to a species of monkey 

 in Ceylon, whilst this species lives only on the continent of India, although 

 often imported into Ceylon from the coast of Malabar ; KEELAAKT Prodro- 

 mus Faunce Zeylaniccs, Ceylon, 1851, 8vo, p. 8. 



Inuus Cuv., WAGN. (and Macacus Cuv.). Last molar tooth of 

 lower jaw quinquetuberculate, the two other true molars quadri- 

 tuberculate. Face produced, rounded. Eyes placed under the 

 shade of the exsert margin of frontal bone. Tail of different 

 length in different species, with tip not tufted. 



This genus is not sharply distinguished from the following, except by 

 the last molar of the lower jaw. Hence all the long-tailed species in which 

 this character is present ought to be removed from Cercopithecus and 

 placed here, if it be the object to form an exact representation of this 

 genus 1 . In the most the tail is moderate. Inuus nemestrinus, Simia 

 Nemestrina L., BUFF. xiv. PI. 19; AUDEB. Singes, n. i, PL 2, GUEB. 

 Iconogr., Mammif. PL 2, fig. 2, Sumatra; this species is trained by 

 the aborigines to pluck cocoa-nuts. In one species there is only a little 

 short tubercle prev^ent as indication of tail: Inuus ecaudatus GEOFFB., 

 Simia Inuus L. (and Simia Sylvanus ejusd.), BUFF. xiv. PL 8, 9, Suppl. 

 vii. PL 2, 3, GUEB. Iconogr. f Mamm. PL 2, fig. 3; the face dirty flesh- 

 coloured, the hair yellowish-grey. This monkey lives in North Africa and 

 also wild upon the rock of Gibraltar. It was this species (and by no 

 means the orang) which GALENUS dissected. Compare on this species
