Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 96:32, November 2.
_Distribution in Tamaulipas._--Probably extreme southern
part.
No specimens of this monkey have been taken in Tamaulipas although
Kellogg and Goldman (1944:34) pointed out that it probably occurred in
the tropical forest of the southern part of the state. Later, Villa
(1958:347) reported that A. Malaga Alba saw monkeys in 1954 at
Barranca de Caballeros, approximately 25 kilometers north-northwest of
Ciudad Victoria. No other report of their occurrence in the state has
been forthcoming.
