﻿CEBUS

  brownish 
  black; 
  limbs, 
  hands 
  and 
  feet, 
  very 
  dark 
  mummy 
  brown; 
  

   entire 
  upper 
  parts 
  mummy 
  brown; 
  side 
  of 
  limbs 
  black; 
  chest 
  yellow- 
  

   ish; 
  under 
  parts 
  ochraceous 
  tipped 
  with 
  brownish 
  black; 
  tail 
  black. 
  

   Tufts 
  on 
  head 
  thick, 
  but 
  are 
  flat 
  on 
  the 
  head. 
  

  

  This 
  is 
  a 
  dark 
  species 
  varying 
  from 
  almost 
  black 
  to 
  a 
  dark 
  mummy 
  

   brown. 
  One 
  of 
  its 
  prominent 
  characters 
  is 
  the 
  long 
  hair 
  on 
  the 
  front 
  

   and 
  sides 
  of 
  the 
  head 
  which 
  stand 
  up 
  more 
  like 
  ridges 
  than 
  tufts, 
  the 
  

   hairs 
  on 
  the 
  center 
  of 
  the 
  head 
  being 
  much 
  shorter 
  thus 
  creating 
  a 
  

   valley 
  between 
  the 
  high 
  sides. 
  The 
  under 
  parts 
  vary 
  also, 
  some 
  being 
  

   quite 
  pale 
  beneath, 
  others 
  a 
  rich 
  ochraceous, 
  and 
  this 
  coloring 
  is 
  appar- 
  

   ently 
  independent 
  of 
  age 
  or 
  sex. 
  

  

  E. 
  Geoffroy 
  first 
  called 
  this 
  species 
  Simla 
  cirrifer 
  and 
  afterward 
  

   renamed 
  it, 
  supposing 
  his 
  specimen 
  was 
  distinct, 
  Cebus 
  niger, 
  and 
  

   Schlegel 
  and 
  others 
  have 
  adopted 
  the 
  latter 
  name. 
  According, 
  how- 
  

   ever, 
  to 
  the 
  rule 
  that 
  priority 
  is 
  given 
  to 
  the 
  name 
  first 
  cited 
  in 
  a 
  volume 
  

   cirrifer 
  takes 
  precedence 
  by 
  one 
  page, 
  and 
  niger 
  becomes 
  a 
  synonym. 
  

   The 
  type 
  of 
  C. 
  niger 
  unfortunately 
  is 
  not 
  in 
  the 
  Paris 
  Museum, 
  and 
  

   nothing 
  is 
  known 
  about 
  it. 
  

  

  The 
  type 
  of 
  C. 
  cirrifer 
  is 
  in 
  good 
  condition 
  and 
  less 
  faded 
  than 
  

   many 
  of 
  the 
  other 
  examples. 
  It 
  has 
  also 
  a 
  more 
  reddish 
  tinge, 
  but 
  the 
  

   species 
  is 
  quite 
  variable 
  in 
  its 
  coloring 
  and 
  ranges 
  from 
  mummy 
  brown 
  

   to 
  nearly 
  black 
  on 
  the 
  upper 
  parts. 
  The 
  type 
  was 
  obtained 
  from 
  the 
  

   "Cabinet 
  de 
  Lisbonne" 
  in 
  1808, 
  and 
  considering 
  its 
  great 
  age 
  is 
  well 
  

   preserved. 
  It 
  bears 
  the 
  statement 
  beneath 
  the 
  stand, 
  "type 
  de 
  l'espece," 
  

   and 
  I 
  have 
  no 
  doubt 
  that 
  it 
  is 
  the 
  specimen 
  originally 
  described. 
  

   The 
  skull 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  specimen. 
  

  

  Bates 
  says 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  (1. 
  c.) 
  which 
  he 
  calls 
  macaco 
  prego, 
  that 
  

   it 
  is 
  a 
  "most 
  impudent 
  thief 
  ; 
  it 
  destroys 
  more 
  than 
  it 
  eats 
  by 
  its 
  ran- 
  

   dom, 
  hasty 
  way 
  of 
  plucking 
  and 
  breaking 
  the 
  fruits, 
  and 
  when 
  about 
  

   to 
  return 
  to 
  the 
  forest, 
  carries 
  away 
  all 
  it 
  can 
  in 
  its 
  hands 
  or 
  under 
  its 
  

   arms." 
  He 
  also 
  says 
  it 
  is 
  much 
  quieter 
  and 
  better 
  tempered 
  than 
  the 
  

   Caiarara, 
  C. 
  albifrons, 
  and 
  is 
  full 
  of 
  tricks, 
  but 
  these 
  are 
  generally 
  of 
  

   a 
  playful 
  character.
