Synopsis
Excerpt from A Hand-Book to the Primates, Vol. 1
I have not attempted to write a complete synonymy of the species of Monkeys. The literature is scattered over many, Often obscure, periodicals, and without seeing the actual speci mens described by some of the older writers, it would be easy to introduce a great deal of confusion into the synonymy. I have, therefore, only attempted to give the principal references.
I must express my obligation to Dr. Gunther, the Keeper of the Zoological Department in the British Museum, for the facilities of study afforded to me in that institution. To Mr. Oldfield Thomas I am likewise greatly indebted for much assistance, and for many a kindly hint.
