* Cercopithecus, i. e. tailed monkey, a name used by the Greeks. 
t Callithrix, Pliny, 1. 8, ¢. 54, is the name of an Ethiopian monkey, furnished with 
a beard and a tufted tail, probably the Ouanderou. Buffon arbitrarily applied it to 
this species, 
{ The Cercop. barbatus of Clusius, which Linn, cites as an example of his faunus, 
is rather an Ouanderou than a Malbroue.
