Transcribe Allen, J. A. Letter to Ward, Frank A. (1886-05-03)

ybg </em American Museum of Natural History Central Park, New York City > May 3, 1886 </em Department of Ornithology and Mammalogy, J. A. Allen, Curator > Mr, Frank A. Ward Rochester, N. Y. Dear Sir : -

    Your letter of April 26 I find

here on my return today from a week's absence from the City I hasten to reply to your inquiries.

    </u Semnopithicus " cucullatus" is apparently a pure

synonym of </y S. John > of Martin but not </u S. John > of Grog. The skin thus labelled appeared to fiffer from any specimen in our collection & 3 therefore accepted it. I cannot without seeing it again tell what it corresponds with ^any name^ in my listing
