    Actually not.

    Historical reports from the 1930's and 1900's do mention many other
    animals but no monkeys. Monkeys usually need a wide range of habitat
    and the islands are rather small, additionally monkeys are not that
    typical for islands at all.

    There are several reasons for that, which i donīt have time to explain
    here. For those who are interested i recommend David Quammans "The
    Song of the Dodo" (a popular written book) or any other books about
    island biogeography.
