The Synonymy of Nos. 5 and 6 have often been confounded. Their 

 situation is undetermined. Geoffrey places them with the 

 Barbary Ape, so does Mr Gray, rejecting entirely Cuvier's 

 genus Inuvs. We have followed Desmarest, as most in ac- 

 cordance with our own opinion 



There are, it is probable, other ai'ried species which have not been 

 properly characterised. Desinarest mentions one above two 

 feet in length ; the back above brownish-black ; the shoulders 

 olive; the outer surface of the fee', yellowish-gray ; under part 

 of the throat grayish-white blly yellowish; ears small, 

 white hairs behind each,
