Macacus. 
Macacus maurus F. Cu vier (1823). 
(Macacus ocreatus, Ogilby (1840)). 
Celebes: Maros; adult cT (314) and Q (315) with her young. Very 
common in this district. I lost several . of them that had 
fallen, after being shot, in the spiny bamboo in the forest 
of TanraÜli and in the crevices of the limestone cliffs by 
Bantimurong. 
Pare-Pare; adult 9 (334), skeletons 9 (332) and (333). 
From Kandari-bay I got a living female and from the island 
Buton , through the courtesy of Mr. Eerdmans, a living male. 
Besides these I observed specimens at Katjang and Bonthain. 
Hitherto the exact locality where this monkey is living in Celebes 
was not known. Schlegel *) writes: „Feu le docteur Forsten nous en 
a envoyd , en 1840, un individu provenant de Cblebes et probablement 
encore de la partie mdridionale de cette 11© , attendu que, ni ce na- 
turaliste, ni Wallace, ni M. von Rosenberg n'ont jamais rencontrdce 
singe dans la partie septentrionale. Les objets vivants que Ton ap- 
porte en Europe viennent aussi, au dire des marchands de Cdlebes.” 
It is a very curious fact that Wallace does not mention this 
monkey from Celebes in his enumeration of animals living in that island. 
Wallace lived for some months near Maros. From that place he 
mentions only what he calls Cynopithecus nigrescens, but this is surely 
erroneous. I saw there troops of Macacus maurus and there is no other 
monkey living there. Cynopithecus (nigrescens) niger is restricted to 
North-Celebes. 
In a forest between Maros and Tanralili I shot four specimens in 
a few hours and saw about ten others. 
Generally speaking this monkey is very common in the Southern 
parts of Celebes. Besides at Maros I found it at Pare-Pare, Katjang, 
Bonthain and I got a specimen from Kandari-bay and the island Buton. 
I could detect no trace of it in the island Saleyer , nor did I hear 
of it in Luwu in the central part of Celebes. As it is also unknown 
in North Celebes, the play-ground of Cynopithecus niger, it seems to 
be restricted to the Southern peninsula of Celebes and the neigh- 
bouring island of Buton. Another curious fact is the different colour
