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.
