  general 
  conclusions 
  reached 
  by 
  the 
  Author 
  are 
  but 
  little 
  at 
  

   variance 
  with 
  the 
  opinions 
  held 
  by 
  Mammalogists, 
  regarding 
  

   these 
  Monkeys, 
  at 
  the 
  present 
  time. 
  In 
  a 
  footnote 
  to 
  the 
  article 
  

   on 
  Macacus 
  ochreatus 
  he 
  gives 
  the 
  synonymy 
  and 
  description 
  

   of 
  the 
  two 
  forms 
  of 
  Cynopithecus 
  then 
  known 
  as 
  C. 
  niger 
  

   and 
  C. 
  nigrescens 
  = 
  C. 
  niger.

  In 
  some 
  critical 
  notes 
  on 
  the 
  nomenclature 
  of 
  Indian 
  Mammals 
  

   the 
  writer 
  discusses 
  the 
  names 
  that 
  should 
  properly 
  belong 
  to 
  

   Simia 
  silenus 
  Linn., 
  and 
  Simia 
  cynomolgos 
  Linn., 
  and 
  endeavors 
  

   to 
  prove, 
  first, 
  that 
  the 
  animals 
  to 
  which 
  these 
  names 
  were 
  

   applied 
  are 
  undeterminable, 
  and 
  that 
  Linnaeus' 
  names 
  must 
  be 
  

   dropped 
  from 
  our 
  list. 
  The 
  Macaque 
  which 
  is 
  called 
  silenus 
  

   Auct., 
  was 
  first 
  designated 
  Simia 
  albibarbatus 
  by 
  Kerr, 
  and 
  

   by 
  that 
  name 
  it 
  must 
  be 
  known 
  in 
  the 
  future 
  ; 
  but 
  Simia 
  cyno- 
  

   molgos 
  Linn., 
  = 
  Simia 
  hamadryas 
  Linn., 
  and 
  becomes 
  its 
  

   synonym.
