418 MR. P. L. SCLATER ON RARE MAMMALS [June 1, 
the additions made to the Society’s Menagerie. On the present oc- 
casion I have several such rectifications to offer, and have, moreover, 
additional remarks to make on certain of the rarer species which now 
are, or lately have been, exhibited in our Gardens. 
1. Macacvus sreciosus. (Plate XLVII.) 
Macacus speciosus, G. St.-Hil. et F. Cuv. Hist. Nat. Mam. i. 
t. 46. 
On the 2nd of March last year Capt. Nutsford, of the ship ‘ West- 
bury,’ brought home for us, from the east, a young female Ape, 
which was entered in the register at the time as a “St. John’s Mon- 
key,’’ and as having been presented by that gentlemen. The Ape, 
growing more mature, began to show its red face; and upon reexamin- 
ing it in the autumn, I came to the conclusion that it was a Japanese 
Ape (Inuus speciosus of the ‘Fauna Japonica’), and so entered it in 
the Appendix to the volume of Proceedings for last year*. This 
specimen, now nearly adult, is still thriving in the Monkey-house. 
The fur is generally of a more olive tinge than is given in the figures 
hitherto published, and the face not perhaps quite so carneous, as 
will be seen by Mr. Keulemans’s drawing. 
I also now find that the real donor of the animal is Mr. Abel A. 
J. Gower, H.B.M. Consul at Hiogo and Osaka in Japan, to whom 
we are also indebted for a specimen of the rare Pteromys leucogenys 
and other rare animals. Mr. Gower informs me that he obtained 
this Monkey at Kioto, some thirty miles from Hiogo, where the spe- 
cies is common on the hillst. 
According to the ‘ Revised Catalogue of Vertebrates’ (p. 16f), it 
will be noticed that we have previously received, in 1864, a Monkey 
considered to be Macacus speciosus. But Dr. Ginther has called 
my attention to the fact that this specimen, which is now in the 
British Museum, is really an example of MJacacus melanotus§—a 
species established by Ogilby, founded on a specimen also formerly 
living in the Society’s Menagerie and now in the British Museum. 
This Macaque, of which the habitat is still unfortunately unknown, 
is at once distinguishable from M. speciosus by its minutely punc- 
tulated fur, whereas that of M. speciosus is quite uniform. 
2. Macacus RHESO-SIMILIs, Sclater, P. Z. S. 1872, p. 495, pl. 
XXV. : 
This was a provisional name based by me on a single female spe- 
cimen brought by Mr. Jamrach from Calcutta in 1872. The indi- 
vidual died on the 9th of the following December ; and I exhibit its 
skin and skull, which I now propose to transfer to the British Mu- 
seum. The specimen agrees best with the imperfectly known M. 
* See P. Z. 8. 1874, p. 685. 
t Dr. J. J. Rein (Zool. Gart. 1875, p. 55) tells us that this Ape is found all 
over the island of Nippon up to 41° N. lat., and has consequently a further 
northern range than any other existing Monkey.
