THE animal which I propose to consider in the present article, has long been 
known by the name of Simia Maura, and it has been received into all the systematic 
Catalogues. My principal object at present is to give an accurate figure, both of the 
adult and of the young subject, illustrated by its history, as I observed it in Java. 
M. Cuvier enumerates the " Maure" among the Guenons, which comprise in 
the Regne animal a considerable number of the Cercopitheei of Erxleben; and 
M. M. Geoffroy and Desmarest have likewise arranged our animal in the genus 
Cercopithecus, as employed by them individually. The generic name placed at the 
head of this article, was first proposed by M. Fre'd. Cuvier in the 80th Livraison of 
the " Histoire naturelle des Mammiferes, in the description of the Cimepaye. 
Various animals of this order, forwarded from Sumatra by M. Duvaucel, enabled 
M. Cuvier to distinguish satisfactorily the " Maure," and several other Quadrumana, 
which will be mentioned in the sequel, from the Cercopitheei, or Guenons ; and in 
a late work by the same Author, entitled " Des dents des Mammiferes, considerees 
comme caracteres zoologiques," this genus is more accurately defined and illustrated 
by the details of the character of the teeth from the species now under consideration.
