84 PYGATHRIX 



then we had to feed the monkey on tinned milk and mashed bananas. 

 It throve very well ; in a few weeks it could feed itself on a mess of 

 bananas, rice, porridge and milk, and when we had it about six 

 weeks it took to eating a little grass on the lawn every day. It grew 

 stronger and very active and was very fond of us, (although it 

 screamed at strangers and would not be touched by them) ; it also 

 enjoyed romps with a Siamese kitten, and the two little animals would 

 sleep curled up together — the monkey grasping the kitten's fur in 

 its hands. When playing about and extra pleased, this monkey had 

 a comic little habit of jimiping in the air vertically and coming down 

 again on all fours. Its sense of sight and hearing were particularly 

 acute, and it would follow my wife or myself about the house or 

 compound. For two months this little animal was as well, happy and 

 active as could be ; then it got a sudden attack of diarrhaea and a bad 

 cold in the head, and in spite of careful nursing died on June 4th, 1897. 

 Color. Fur bright gold all over, except the long hair on the forehead 

 which is dark gray, and the hands and feet which are also dark gray, 

 and the hairs on the cheeks and chin which are white. Skin of face 

 and ears dark brown. The skin of the abdomen and inner side of 

 limbs is white, sparsely covered with golden fur. The hair of the 

 crown does not radiate, but is directed backwards, forming a pointed 

 crest over the occiput. Black supra-orbital hairs well developed, 

 whiskers long, beard short."
