Pan Fuscus first described as Anthropopithecus fuscus.

Freunde, Berlin. 
In this paper the Author discusses very briefly the proper 
generic name for the Chimpanzees, and then gives a list of the 
species he considers recognizable. He demonstrates that Lin- 
nzus first described in the 10th edition of his Systema Nature 
a Chimpanzee under the name of Simia satyra, although the Pan 
(Simia) satyra of the 12th edition is an Ourang-utan. The 
species given are as follows: P. satyrus from Southern Came- 
roon, Gaboon, and Ogowé, with Gaboon as the type locality; P. 
CALVUS also with the same type locality, to Yaundi in south 
Cameroon; P. vELLEROSUS with Cameroon Mountain as type 
locality, (though Gray gives none), and its distribution in 
north Cameroon. P. SCHWEINFURTHI, with Troglodytes 
MARUNGENSIS Noack, as possibly synonymous, from Niam-niam 
and ranging south to Massouga on the Albert Nyanza. P. 
Fuscus probably from the Gold Coast; P. LEucopryMNUsS, from 
coast of Guinea, probably Sierra Leone or western Liberia, and 
may be the same as P. pygmeus Tyson; and lastly P. cHIM- 
PANSE from the Gambia region. The list is a tentative one, 
for the Author appreciates fully the great difficulty that exists 
in definitely discriminating the number of species that are 
known to represent this genus, and this uncertainty constrains 
him to write, when discussing (S.) catvus, “Die Farbung 
andert wie bei S. satyrus sehr ab; es ist mir unmdglich, die 
einzelnen Arten des Schimpanse nach der Farbung des Haark- 
leides zu unterscheiden.” If the color of the hair is not of a 
specific value, and, as is certainly the case, that the skulls 
present few if any reliable characters for separating examples 
of Chimpanzees, little remains upon which species can be 
designated.

A critical review of Herr Matschie’s paper on the Chimpanzees 
and Ourangs. Five species and seven races are recognized as 
follows under the genus Simia: S. vELLEROSUS (Gray); S. v. 
FULIGINOSUS (Schaufuss) ; S$. satyrusS Linn.; S. s. SCHWEIN-
