  LASIOPYGA 
  

  

  Simla 
  sabcea 
  Linnaeus 
  is 
  a 
  composite 
  species, 
  its 
  Author, 
  as 
  was 
  not 
  

   infrequently 
  the 
  case 
  in 
  his 
  diagnosis, 
  confounding 
  two 
  species 
  together. 
  

   The 
  cauda 
  cinerea 
  removes 
  it 
  at 
  once 
  from 
  Le 
  Callitriche 
  F. 
  Cuv., 
  with 
  

   its 
  grayish 
  green 
  tail 
  and 
  yellow 
  tip, 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  longer 
  description, 
  Le 
  

   callitriche 
  and 
  Le 
  Grivet 
  (L. 
  griseoviridis 
  Desm.), 
  seem 
  to 
  be 
  mixed 
  

   up 
  together. 
  Under 
  these 
  circumstances 
  it 
  does 
  not 
  appear 
  to 
  be 
  

   judicious 
  to 
  employ 
  Linnaeus' 
  name, 
  for 
  it 
  might 
  not 
  only 
  continue 
  but 
  

   increase 
  the 
  confusion 
  already 
  created, 
  and 
  another 
  name 
  should 
  be 
  

   substituted 
  for 
  it, 
  and 
  the 
  one 
  available 
  is 
  callitrichus 
  I. 
  Geoffroy 
  

   (La). 
  

  

  This 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  most 
  common 
  monkeys 
  seen 
  in 
  captivity, 
  and 
  

   has 
  been 
  introduced 
  into 
  one 
  or 
  more 
  of 
  the 
  West 
  Indian 
  Islands, 
  and 
  

   also, 
  according 
  to 
  Schlegel, 
  into 
  St. 
  Iago 
  of 
  the 
  Cape 
  Verde 
  Islands.
