  Simia 
  capucina 
  Linnaeus 
  has 
  been 
  generally 
  recognized 
  by 
  

   Authors 
  as 
  the 
  monkey 
  with 
  the 
  sides 
  of 
  face, 
  throat, 
  chest 
  and 
  front 
  

   part 
  of 
  the 
  shoulders 
  grayish 
  yellow, 
  or 
  grizzled, 
  (gray 
  and 
  black). 
  In 
  

   the 
  Museum 
  Regis 
  Adolphi 
  Frederici, 
  1754, 
  the 
  work 
  in 
  which 
  Linnaeus 
  

   first 
  employed 
  the 
  binominal 
  system, 
  two 
  species 
  of 
  Cebus 
  are 
  figured 
  

   and 
  described 
  as 
  Simia 
  apella 
  and 
  Simia 
  capucina. 
  The 
  plates 
  are 
  

   recognizable, 
  that 
  on 
  which 
  the 
  latter 
  species 
  is 
  portrayed 
  eminently 
  

   so, 
  and 
  represent 
  the 
  forms 
  recognized 
  by 
  Authors 
  generally 
  as 
  Cebus 
  

   capucinus 
  and 
  Cebus 
  hypoleucus, 
  and 
  the 
  descriptions 
  given, 
  

   fairly, 
  if 
  not 
  completely, 
  describe 
  the 
  figures, 
  and 
  the 
  one 
  known 
  to 
  

   Mammalogists 
  at 
  the 
  present 
  day 
  as 
  Cebus 
  hypoleucus 
  is 
  called 
  5. 
  

   capucina, 
  and 
  the 
  other 
  6\ 
  apella, 
  and 
  these 
  names 
  must 
  take 
  

   precedence 
  for 
  these 
  forms. 
  In 
  the 
  10th 
  edition 
  of 
  the 
  Systema 
  

   Naturae, 
  1758, 
  p. 
  29, 
  Linnaeus 
  gives 
  a 
  brief 
  description 
  of 
  S. 
  capucina, 
  

   not 
  sufficient 
  however 
  to 
  cause 
  the 
  form 
  to 
  be 
  recognizable, 
  but 
  the 
  

   only 
  authority 
  he 
  gives 
  is 
  his 
  own 
  work 
  the 
  Mus 
  Reg. 
  Ad. 
  Fred., 
  

   which 
  thus 
  fixes 
  the 
  animal, 
  (afterwards 
  named 
  by 
  Humboldt 
  hypo- 
  

   leucus), 
  as 
  his 
  5. 
  capucina. 
  In 
  the 
  12th 
  edition 
  of 
  the 
  Systema 
  

   Naturae, 
  1766, 
  p. 
  43, 
  the 
  one 
  cited 
  by 
  many 
  European 
  Naturalists, 
  

   under 
  S. 
  capucina, 
  Linnaeus 
  gives 
  quite 
  a 
  different 
  description 
  of 
  this 
  

   monkey 
  from 
  that 
  in 
  the 
  Mus. 
  Reg. 
  Ad. 
  Fred., 
  and 
  instead 
  of 
  "pallida 
  

   flava 
  est 
  una 
  cum 
  pectore 
  ad 
  flexuram 
  usque 
  cubitorum" 
  as 
  exhibited 
  

   in 
  the 
  figure 
  of 
  his 
  plate, 
  he 
  writes 
  "pectus 
  ferrugincum," 
  which 
  

   describes 
  neither 
  capucinus 
  nor 
  hypoleucus 
  of 
  Authors.

  is
