Abstract
In this paper, the musculature of the forelimb of the crab-eating monkey was described by anatomical observation of twenty limbs and compared with that of a few other primates, especially of man andMacaca. As for the musculature of the forelimb, that of the crab-eating monkey was naturally very similar to other species of theMacaca group, except for slight differences of individual muscles.
