The squirrel monkey is common in the scrubby forest of the foot-hills of the 

 Volcan de Chiriqui. It was very tame, and Mr. Brown states that often little 

 parties of them, would follow him about in the underbrush, chattering, and 

 allowing him to come so near that he could almost put his hand on them. It 

 is a beautiful creature, with a long tasselled tail, and is admirably shown in 

 Alston's plate in the Biologia Centrali- Americana. Mr. Brown states that he 

 never saw a creature that he disliked so to kill, and after he had secured five 

 specimens, nothing would induce him to molest the little troupes that accom- 

 panied him on his rambles over the foot-hills. 



Cebus hypoleucus (Humboldt). 

 Two adult females, Boquete, 4,000 feet, March, and Bogaba, Julv.
