110 SIMIAS 
among the Primates in late years. So far as is known, it is restricted 
to South Pagi Island of the Mettawee Group, but it may be found 
an inhabitant of other islands of the group as they become better 
known. With its small upturned nose, short naked tail with a terminal 
tuft, and jet black pelage, it is a most unique and extraordinary animal. 
The remark may be pardoned, that we might wish a different 
name had been selected for the genus, the great similarity between 
the one chosen and the long established Simia of Linnzeus, being very 
apt to create confusion.
