Of all the Monkeys inhabiting the Indian Archipelago, the common 

 Macac is the most widely distributed. It is frequently brought to 

 Europe, and it is one of the few of the Monkey tribe which has bred 

 in menageries. In early life it is intelligent, good-natured, and docile, 

 being easily trained to the performance of amusing tricks and exhibi- 

 tions. It is frequently found on board of ships, where the name of Jakko 

 is vulgarly applied to it. In the island of Java it is a great favourite 

 with the natives, by whom it is domesticated, and placed in fctables as 

 a companion to their horses. As it advances in age, the character 

 gradually changes, and it becomes sullen, morose, and mischievous. 

 Dr. S. Miiller, in his description of the Mammalia of the Indian Archi- 

 pelago, gives copious details of the varieties of this Monkey, as they 

 occur in Sumatra, Borneo, Java, and Timor, with the names by which 

 they are respectively distinguished in different islands, and he considers 

 the Macacus auratus of Belanger, in " Voyage aux Indes Orientales,"
