  country 
  from 
  whence 
  it 
  came 
  give 
  it 
  a 
  very 
  disadvantageous 
  position 
  

   among 
  the 
  species 
  of 
  Cebus. 
  This 
  is 
  the 
  more 
  remarkable, 
  for 
  it 
  is 
  

   nearly 
  a 
  century 
  since 
  it 
  was 
  described, 
  and 
  yet 
  we 
  are 
  still 
  waiting 
  for 
  

   more 
  material 
  which 
  will 
  show 
  what 
  status 
  this 
  type 
  specimen 
  should 
  

   have 
  among 
  the 
  species.
