  This 
  is 
  an 
  animal 
  more 
  brownish 
  than 
  black, 
  and 
  with 
  long 
  narrow 
  

   callosities, 
  and 
  the 
  hair 
  on 
  rump 
  restricted 
  to 
  the 
  center 
  above 
  the 
  

   button 
  of 
  a 
  tail. 
  

  

  The 
  skull 
  of 
  this 
  form 
  has 
  a 
  short 
  face 
  and 
  the 
  rostrum 
  narrows 
  

   rapidly 
  anteriorly 
  not 
  retaining 
  the 
  broad 
  shape 
  of 
  typical 
  Cynopithe- 
  

   cus, 
  and 
  is 
  more 
  like 
  Pithecus. 
  

  

  The 
  type 
  was 
  obtained 
  from 
  the 
  Zoological 
  Gardens, 
  and 
  was 
  with- 
  

   out 
  locality, 
  and 
  giving 
  the 
  range 
  as 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  western 
  portion 
  of 
  

   Celebes 
  is, 
  as 
  indicated 
  by 
  Herr 
  Matschie, 
  merely 
  a 
  supposition. 
  The 
  type 
  

   not 
  being 
  adult 
  and 
  without 
  locality, 
  should 
  for 
  the 
  present 
  be 
  placed 
  

   with 
  C. 
  Niger 
  as 
  having 
  more 
  affinity 
  with 
  that 
  species 
  than 
  any 
  other. 
  

  

  All 
  the 
  material 
  in 
  the 
  Berlin 
  Museum 
  has 
  been 
  examined. 
  

  

  Of 
  C. 
  hecki 
  all 
  the 
  specimens, 
  seven 
  in 
  number, 
  were 
  obtained 
  

   from 
  the 
  Zoological 
  Gardens 
  as 
  stated 
  by 
  Herr 
  Matschie 
  in 
  his 
  paper. 
  

   Unfortunately 
  they 
  are 
  without 
  any 
  authenticated 
  locality, 
  and 
  most 
  of 
  

   them 
  are 
  young, 
  so, 
  for 
  scientific 
  identification, 
  they 
  are 
  practically 
  

   without 
  value, 
  as 
  it 
  is 
  not 
  known 
  if 
  the 
  specimens 
  all 
  came 
  from 
  one 
  

   locality 
  or 
  from 
  several, 
  and 
  it 
  may 
  be 
  possible 
  that 
  some 
  may 
  have 
  

   been 
  born 
  in 
  captivity. 
  Herr 
  Matschie 
  places 
  its 
  habitat 
  at 
  the 
  north 
  

   western 
  part 
  of 
  Celebes, 
  because 
  a 
  specimen 
  which 
  is 
  considered 
  to 
  be 
  

   the 
  same, 
  was 
  received 
  by 
  the 
  Dresden 
  Museum 
  from 
  this 
  part 
  of 
  

   Celebes. 
  As 
  nigrescens 
  Temminck, 
  now 
  deemed 
  inseparable 
  from 
  C. 
  

   niger, 
  is 
  found 
  from 
  Gorontalo 
  to 
  Tomini, 
  and 
  probably 
  also 
  on 
  the 
  

   northern 
  part 
  of 
  this 
  section 
  of 
  Celebes 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  on 
  the 
  west 
  coast 
  

   (C. 
  hypomelas) 
  , 
  and 
  there 
  not 
  being 
  sufficient 
  evidence 
  in 
  the 
  available 
  

   material 
  of 
  so-called 
  C. 
  hecki, 
  (the 
  majority 
  of 
  specimens 
  including 
  the 
  

   type 
  being 
  very 
  young), 
  to 
  separate 
  it 
  from 
  C. 
  niger, 
  it 
  would 
  seem 
  

   best 
  to 
  consider 
  it 
  the 
  same 
  as 
  that 
  species, 
  leaving 
  the 
  question 
  to 
  be 
  

   definitely 
  decided 
  at 
  some 
  future 
  period 
  when 
  ample 
  materials 
  with 
  

   authenticated 
  localities 
  may 
  have 
  been 
  gathered. 
  Of 
  C. 
  hypomelas 
  

   practically 
  nothing 
  is 
  known 
  as 
  already 
  stated. 
  The 
  shape 
  of 
  the 
  

   callosities 
  either 
  in 
  one 
  mass 
  or 
  divided 
  in 
  the 
  center, 
  varies 
  with 
  

   individuals, 
  and 
  I 
  am 
  inclined 
  to 
  regard 
  the 
  different 
  shapes 
  as 
  

   dependent 
  upon 
  the 
  age 
  of 
  the 
  animal, 
  or^a 
  variation 
  of 
  a 
  particular 
  

   example. 
  At 
  present 
  too 
  little 
  is 
  known 
  about 
  it, 
  for 
  it 
  to 
  be 
  accepted 
  

   as 
  indicating 
  a 
  specific 
  character.
