EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 32 from Recherches pour servir a l'histoire naturelle des Mammiferes (Researches for the Natural History of Mammals) by Henri Milne-Edwards, published in Paris between 1868 and 174, features an exquisite illustration of Macacus tcheliensis, commonly known as the Eastern Black Macaque or the Arunachal Macaque. This macaque species is native to the eastern Himalayas and southwestern China. Henri Milne-Edwards (1800-1885) was a renowned French zoologist and palaeontologist, who dedicated his life to the study of mammals. This plate is a testament to his extensive knowledge and meticulous attention to detail. The illustration showcases the macaque in its natural habitat, with lush vegetation and rocks in the background. The macaque is depicted with its characteristic black fur, long tail, and expressive face. Macaca tcheliensis is a member of the Cercopithecidae family, which includes Old World monkeys. More specifically, it belongs to the subfamily Cercopithecinae, the guenons and langurs, and the genus Macaca, which includes the rhesus macaque and the bonnet macaque, among others. This macaque species is classified as Eutheria, Mammalia, Haplorhini, Epitheria, and Cercopithecoidea. The Eastern Black Macaque is an important species in the study of primate evolution and behavior. Its social structure, communication methods, and dietary habits have been the subject of numerous scientific investigations. The illustration in Plate 32 provides a valuable record of this species in the 19th century, before the advent of modern photography and digital technology. This beautiful illustration is a reminder of the rich natural history heritage that Milne-Edwards and other naturalists of his time left us. It invites us to appreciate the beauty and diversity of the natural world and to continue exploring the mysteries of the animal kingdom.
