  This 
  is 
  a 
  gray 
  long-tailed 
  monkey 
  of 
  Burma, 
  Arakan, 
  and 
  Malay 
  

   Peninsula, 
  always 
  known 
  as 
  M. 
  cynomolgos 
  (nee 
  Linn.), 
  until 
  1825, 
  

   when 
  Frederic 
  Cuvier 
  (1. 
  c.) 
  described 
  it 
  and 
  called 
  it 
  Macacus 
  irus. 
  

  

  The 
  above 
  description 
  represents 
  the 
  typical 
  style 
  of 
  this 
  species, 
  

   but 
  there 
  are 
  considerable 
  variations 
  among 
  individuals 
  both 
  in 
  the 
  

   color 
  of 
  the 
  pelage 
  and 
  in 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  face. 
  This 
  black 
  handed 
  

   and 
  black 
  footed 
  Macaque 
  does 
  not 
  seem 
  to 
  go 
  south 
  or 
  east 
  of 
  the 
  

   Malay 
  Peninsula, 
  but 
  is 
  supplanted 
  by 
  allied 
  forms 
  with 
  gray 
  hands 
  

   and 
  feet 
  in 
  Java, 
  Flores, 
  Borneo, 
  etc.

   Bengal 
  a 
  mistake, 
  as 
  no 
  monkey 
  of 
  this 
  character 
  is 
  found 
  there. 
  

  

  It 
  has 
  been 
  shown 
  by 
  Blanford 
  (1. 
  c.) 
  that 
  Linnaeus' 
  cynomolgos 
  

   was 
  misapplied 
  by 
  Schreber 
  to 
  BufTon's 
  "Macaque," 
  which 
  is 
  the 
  Crab- 
  

   eating 
  Monkey 
  of 
  Burma, 
  and 
  for 
  which 
  F. 
  Cuvier 
  (1. 
  c.) 
  instituted 
  

   the 
  name 
  of 
  irus 
  which 
  is 
  the 
  one 
  it 
  should 
  bear. 
  This 
  species 
  has 
  

   naturally 
  nothing 
  to 
  do 
  with 
  cynomolgos 
  ( 
  !) 
  Linnaeus, 
  which, 
  as 
  has 
  

   been 
  shown, 
  was 
  an 
  African 
  Monkey 
  = 
  Simla 
  hamadryas 
  Linn., 
  and 
  

   all 
  the 
  confusion 
  existing 
  in 
  connection 
  with 
  this 
  name 
  has 
  been 
  

   caused 
  mainly 
  by 
  Schreber. 
  

  

  Two 
  rather 
  striking 
  varieties 
  of 
  the 
  Crab-eating 
  Monkey 
  have 
  

   been 
  accorded 
  different 
  names 
  and 
  separated 
  as 
  distinct. 
  The 
  first 
  

   with 
  a 
  dark-colored 
  pelage 
  and 
  dusky 
  face 
  was 
  called 
  carbonarius 
  by 
  

   F. 
  Cuvier, 
  (1. 
  c.) 
  and 
  the 
  second, 
  a 
  golden 
  colored 
  animal 
  with 
  a 
  pale 
  

   face 
  was 
  designated 
  aureus 
  by 
  I. 
  Geoffroy, 
  (1. 
  c). 
  These 
  two 
  forms, 
  

   as 
  well 
  as 
  the 
  typical 
  style 
  are 
  found 
  in 
  Burma 
  as 
  stated 
  by 
  Blanford,
