Genus 1. Homo. p. 20. 

 Two species. Type, //. sapieus. 



Species : 



1. sAPiEX.s. p. 20. Homo. 

 " JSTosce te ipsum." 



2. troglodytes, p. 24. 



A mixture of the abnormal hairy woman iigured by Bontius 

 (Hist. Nat. Med. Ind. Or. p. 84) witli an account of albino negroes 

 taken from Nils Matson. 



Genus 2. Simia. p. 25. 



Twenby-one species. Type by tautonymy : 8. sylvanus 

 (" Simia," Gesn.). 



The species are divided into three sections, (1)* Cauda nulla : 

 Simife veterum, (2) *"* Cauda abbreviata : Papiones, and (3) *** 

 Cauda elongata : Cercopitheci. 



From the name " Simife," the type must clearly be sought 

 among the first section, which contains two species, satyrus and 

 si/lvamis, and the second of these [not the first) should be taken 

 as type, because among its synonyms — the first, in fact — occurs 

 ^' Simia, Gesner, p. 847" (of 1620 edition, 957 of 1551 edition, p. 1 

 of German edition). 



From this it would follow that, failing a fiat on the subject, 

 the generic name Simia should be ti'ansferred — not to the Chim- 

 panzee, as has been done by Matschie aiid Rothschild, but to the 

 Bai-bary Ape and its congeners. 



Species : 



1. SATYRUS. Anthi'opo2nthecu3. 



Linnean reference : Syst. Nat. (6) p. 3, no. 1, where the first 



quotation is 

 . Tulp. Obs. p. 270, pi. xiv. 

 Clearly the Common Chimpanzee*, whose name (again failing a 

 fiat) would thei-efore ))e Anthrojiopithecus satyrics. 



2. SYLVANUS. p. 25. (Simia or) Macaca f. 



Linnean reference : Syst. Nat. (6) p. 3, no. 3, where the sole 



reference is to 

 Alpin. Aegypt. p. 241, pi. xvi. 

 This is clearly a Barbary Ape, to which therefore, instead 



* Of. W. Eothschild, P. Z. S. 1904, ii. p. 420. 

 - t I continue to use Macaca provisionally, pending a decision as to " fiat "names. 

 To use Pithecus (although it antedates Macaca) would be merely the commence- 

 ment of a useless familiarity with that name, which would be again overthrown 

 should the tisit'principle fail.
