Dear Sclater1
Nothing is more likely than that a monkey should be obtained from some native vessel at Aroe. but if any thing is certain I consider it certain that no monkey is a native of Aroe.
Celebes is not an unlikely locality for a new macacus purchased at Aru, since a large proportion of the [2] native traders come from Macassar and the neighbourhood.
Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
