] 26 MR. OLDFIELD THOMAS ON THE MAMMALS 



of Macacus (or Macaco) hi.uus or Initus ecaudatus, the name 

 Simia sylvana would appear to be technically applicable. 



The reference Simla sylvanus has been already frequently put 

 among the synonyms of Afacaca imia, so that the present identi- 

 fication is not a new one. 



3. SPHINX, p. 25. (Mandril *.) 



Linnean reference : Syst. Nat. (6) p. 3, no. 5, where the sole 



reference is to Ray (Quadr. p. 158), who in turn speaks 



of the " Baboon Gesnero descripta et depicta." 



This is, no doubt, as shown by Dr. Elliot t, the Mandrill, of 



which a figure and descrij)tion are given on the page between 157 



and 158 of Gesner's German edition (1606). 



4. APEDIA, p. 25. ('0 

 Linnean (and sole) reference : Amoen. Acad.i. p. 278 (1749). 



Not determinable from descrij)tion, but if the specimen de- 

 scribed in the ' Amoenitates ' as being in the Museum Adolpho- 

 Fridericianum still exists, the species may yet be identified. 



Type locality " in Indiis," which means hardly more than 

 " foreign," No locality at all is mentioned in the ' Amoenitates.' 



5. siLENUs. p. 26. Macaca. 



No definitive reference, the only one, that to Alpinus (p. 242), 

 being with a query, so tha,t the account should be treated by its 

 own evidence only. 



The description and locality, however, appear to me to be 

 sufficient to assign the name to the Malabar " Lion-tailed Monkey 

 of Pennant," as was done by pi'actically every author up to 

 Blanford. 



That author, working on the basis of the 12th edition, first 

 stated + that the name did not refer to the Lion-tailed Monkey, 

 and then later on used it for it §. 



No exa.ct typical locality available. 



6. FACJNUS. p. 26. (?) 



Linnean reference: Syst. Nat, (6) p. 3, no. 15, whence we 



get Cercopithecios barbiztros, no. 1, Clusius, Exot. p, 371 



(1605), 



It does not seem possible to determine this monkey with any 



certainty. In the pointed white beard and white chest we have 



something which suggiests the Diana Monkey, while, on the other 



hand, by the length of the beard (if mantle- hairs were mistaken 



for a beard) and the tufted tail a Colobus of some sort might be 



indicated. 



No locality given. 



* As Palmer has shown, this is the technical name for the Mandrill, if considered 

 generically distinct from other Baboons, as it apparently should be.
