  top 
  of

  gray, 
  streaked 
  with 
  black; 
  upper 
  parts, 
  shoulders,

   of 
  body 
  and 
  outer 
  side 
  of

  black 
  ;

  ;

   white

  and

  black

  under 
  parts 
  blackish

   chest 
  grayish 
  white*;

  hairy

  This 
  was 
  a 
  large 
  animal 
  for 
  the 
  species 
  of 
  this 
  genus, 
  powerfully 
  

   and 
  compactly 
  built, 
  and 
  in 
  appearance 
  was 
  a 
  grayish 
  white 
  monkey 
  

   with 
  a 
  black 
  back. 
  The 
  head 
  was 
  round 
  in 
  shape, 
  the 
  muzzle 
  rather 
  

   short, 
  and 
  the 
  hair 
  on 
  the 
  crown 
  was 
  thick, 
  and 
  short 
  without 
  any 
  indi- 
  

   cation 
  of 
  the 
  crest. 
  It 
  was 
  said 
  to 
  have 
  come 
  from 
  Celebes, 
  but 
  no 
  

   particular 
  locality 
  on 
  the 
  island 
  was 
  given. 
  It 
  was 
  evidently 
  one 
  of 
  

   the 
  finest 
  species 
  of 
  Magus. 
  

  

  One 
  of 
  the 
  characters 
  that 
  seems 
  to 
  separate 
  maurus 
  F. 
  Cuv., 
  

   from 
  ochreatus 
  Ogilby, 
  is 
  the 
  color 
  of 
  the 
  hands 
  and 
  feet, 
  these 
  

   being 
  grayish 
  in 
  maurus 
  and 
  black 
  in 
  ochreatus, 
  the 
  young 
  of 
  both 
  

   being 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  brown 
  according 
  to 
  age. 
  The 
  material 
  for 
  the 
  

   study 
  of 
  the 
  development 
  of 
  these 
  animals 
  is 
  insufficient 
  in 
  all 
  Mu- 
  

   seums, 
  and 
  if 
  all 
  that 
  are 
  contained 
  in 
  collections 
  were 
  brought 
  together, 
  

   it 
  would 
  not 
  be 
  enough 
  to 
  determine 
  how 
  many 
  species 
  there 
  really 
  are. 
  

   The 
  specimens 
  that 
  have 
  been 
  named 
  and 
  described 
  have, 
  in 
  the 
  great 
  

   majority 
  of 
  cases, 
  been 
  young 
  animals, 
  some 
  even 
  without 
  localities, 
  

   and 
  in 
  such 
  cases 
  it 
  is 
  impossible 
  to 
  say, 
  with 
  any 
  degree 
  of 
  certainty, 
  

   to 
  what 
  species 
  they 
  belong. 
  'Dr. 
  Meyer 
  did 
  not 
  appear 
  to 
  know 
  M. 
  

   ochreatus, 
  and 
  the 
  determination 
  of 
  his 
  specimens 
  seemed 
  to 
  depend 
  

   on 
  whether 
  or 
  not 
  they 
  were 
  M. 
  maurus. 
  Cuvier's 
  type 
  is 
  not 
  a 
  

   fully 
  adult 
  animal, 
  but 
  the 
  color 
  of 
  its 
  hands 
  and 
  feet 
  would 
  seem 
  to 
  

   prove 
  it 
  was 
  not 
  M. 
  maurus, 
  but 
  more 
  probably 
  the 
  animal 
  was 
  in 
  a 
  

   state 
  of 
  pelage 
  characteristic 
  of 
  M. 
  ochreatus.

  figures 
  two 
  indi-

  I

  No. 
  2 
  is 
  a 
  young 
  male 
  from 
  the 
  island 
  called 
  Buton 
  at 
  

   the 
  extremity 
  of 
  the 
  southeastern 
  peninsula 
  of 
  Celebes, 
  the 
  locality 
  

   which 
  Matschie 
  (1. 
  c.) 
  apportions 
  to 
  his 
  C. 
  brunescens. 
  This 
  No. 
  2 
  

   is 
  brown 
  with 
  forearms 
  and 
  thighs 
  gray, 
  but 
  no 
  jet 
  black 
  yet 
  appear- 
  

   ing 
  on 
  the 
  pelage 
  anywhere, 
  saving 
  outside 
  of 
  the 
  rostrum. 
  No. 
  

  

  3 
  is 
  a 
  young 
  female 
  from 
  Kandari, 
  on 
  the 
  eastern 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  south- 
  

   eastern 
  peninsula 
  of 
  Celebes 
  in 
  the 
  range 
  Matschie 
  gives 
  to 
  M. 
  ochrea- 
  

   tus. 
  This 
  individual 
  has 
  the 
  three 
  molars 
  still 
  undeveloped, 
  as 
  in 
  

   No. 
  2, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  nearly 
  all 
  black 
  with 
  the 
  gray 
  arms, 
  legs 
  and 
  throat 
  

   of 
  the 
  adult 
  M. 
  ochreatus. 
  Matschie's 
  brunescens, 
  the 
  type, 
  is 
  a 
  

   very 
  young 
  animal, 
  too 
  young 
  to 
  have 
  any 
  reliable 
  specific 
  characters 
  

   established 
  by 
  it, 
  but 
  as 
  we 
  know 
  that 
  the 
  young 
  of 
  M. 
  ochreatus 
  are
