128 MR. OLDFIELD THOMAS OX THE MAMMALS 



14. ^THiops. p. 28. Cercojntkecus. 



Linnean reference : Linn, in Hasselquist, Iter, p. 190, 1757. 

 Formei'ly known as C. griseovw-idis. 



See de Winton, in Anderson, Mamm. Egypt, p. 15, 1902. 

 Type locality : Upper Egypt. 



• 15. MIDAS, p. 28. Leontopithecus. 



No Linnean quotation. First and primary reference : 

 Edwards, Aves, iv. p. 196, pi. 196, 1751. 

 Locality: "West Indies." 



16. CYNAMOLGOS *. p. 28. Pcipio. 



Linnean references: Syst. Nat. (6) p. 3, no. 10 (ex Marcgr. 



Bras. p. 227), and Simia aegyptiaca, Linn, iti Hasselq. Iter, 



p. 189, 1757. 



Both these references being Linnean, the one that refers to an 



actual specimen should be taken in preference to that merely 



based on Marcgrave's short and indefinite notice. 



Consequently Simia cyyiamolgos becomes a synonym of Papio 

 hamadryas. 



Type locality : Upper Egypt. 



17. APELLA. p. 28. Cehus. 

 Linnean reference: Mus. Ad. Frid. p. 1, pi. i., 1754. 



Cehus capucinus auctoi-um. 



■ Bee Elliot, Bull. Am. Mus. N. H. xxvi. p. 227, 1909. 



No type locality available, but Guiana may be accepted from 

 later authors. 



18. MORTA. p. 29. Saimiri. 

 Sole basis : Seba, Thes. i. p. 52, pi. xxxiii. fig. 1, 1734. 



Clearly a Squirrel-Monkey, but as the species is not determinable 

 the name must lapse. 



The suggestion that Sui'inam should be taken as a typical 

 locality for Seba's animals cannot be adopted in this case, as the 

 statement that Simia morta had the back of the head blackish is 

 inconsistent with the condition found in the Guianan species. 



■ 19. CAPUCiNA. p. 29. Cehus. 



Linnean reference: Mus. Ad. Frid. p. 2, pi. ii., 1754. 



The monke}' usually known as C. hijpoleucv,s Humb. 

 : See Elliot, Bull. Am. Mus. N. H. x'xvi. p. 227, 1909. 



No type locality available. The species is Central American 

 and Colombian. 



being far more strongly inclined in Fy<)athrix, in which, as a consequence, the 

 posterior nares are of enormously greater height. Gray, following Dahlbohm, 

 separated the two on external characters and the proportions of the fore and hind 

 limbs, and my comparison of the skulls quite confirms bis judgment in the matter.
