52 MAMMALIA. 
S. melalophos, Raff.; F.C. pl. 7. (The Simpai). Fur of a very 
lively red; beneath white; face blue; a crest of black hairs reaching 
from one ear to the other. 
S. comata, Desm.; S. cristata, Raff.; Fr. Cuv. pl. 2. Presbitis 
mitrata, Kotzeb. (The Croo). Fine ash colour below, and the tuft 
of the tail white; black crest on the eye-brows, and the hairs of the 
top of the head long and turned up, forming a tuft. . 
S. maura, L.; F. Cuv. pl. 10. (The Negro Monkey). All black, 
the young of a brownish yellow. The three latter species are from 
the straits of Sunda*. 
Macacus 7. 
All the animals of this denomination have a fifth tubercle on their last 
molares, and callosities and cheek-pouches like a Guenon. ‘The limbs 
are shorter and thicker than in a Semnopithecus; the muzzle more pro- 
jecting, and the superciliary ridge more inflated than in either the one or 
the other. Though docile when young, they become unmanageable when 
old. ‘They all have a sac which communicates with the larynx under the 
thyroid cartilage, and which, when they cry out, becomes filled with air. 
Their tail is pendent, and takes no part in their motions: they produce 
early, but are not completely adult for four or five years. The period of 
gestation is seven months—during the rutting season the labia pudendi, &c. 
of the females are excessively distended{. They are generally brought 
from India. 
Sim. silenus and leonina, L. and Gm.; Ouanderou, Buff.; Audeb. 
2d fam. sect. 1, pl. 3. (The Maned Macaque). Black; ash coloured 
mane and whitish beard which surround the head. From Ceylon. 
Sim. sinica, Gm.; Buff. XIV. 30; Fr. Cuv. 30. (The Chinese 
Monkey). <A lively fawn-coloured brown above, white beneath; 
flesh-coloured face; the hairs on the top of the head arranged in 
radii forming a sort of hat. From Bengal, Ceylon. 
S. radiata, Geoff.; Fr. Cuv. 29. (The Cape Monkey). Differ- 
ing from the preceding in a greenish tint. 
Sim. cynomolgus and cynocephalus, Lin.; Macaque, Buff. XIV. 
20; Fr. Cuv. 26 and 27. (The Hare-lipped Monkey). Greenish 
above, yellowish or whitish below; ears and hands black; face and 
scrotum tawny§. The Aigrette, Sim. aygula, Lin., Buff. XIV. 21, 
appears to be a mere variety of this one, differing by a longer tuft of 
hair on the top of the head. 
* There is some variation in their Malay names. Raffles, (Linn. Trans. XIIT) 
calls the S. conata, Chinkau; the S. maura, Lotong. Raffles calls the S. fascicularis, 
the Kra. 
t+ Macaco is the generic appellation of monkeys on the coast of Guinea, and among 
the negroes transported to the colonies. Maregrave mentions a species, which he 
says has “‘nares elatas bifidas’’—and these vague words, copied from him only, have 
remained in the character applied to the Macaque of Buff., although it has nothing 
like it. ’ 
{ Hence the observation of Allan, that monkeys are to be seen in India which 
have a prolapsus uteri. 
§ Add the Black-faced Macaque, Fr. Cuy. Mammif. 28, and the other species de- 
scribed in the same work.
