Characters. — Hair on the crown of the head not elongated, but 

 directed backward; no beard; eyebrows prominent. Face, ears, 

 and hands nude; tail long and carried over the back; whiskers 

 small, directed backward, below and behind the ears. Face 

 of a livid brownish colour ; ears, hands, and feet darker ; fur on 

 the upper parts of the body and the outside of the hmbs s-oty- 

 black ; chin, throat, breast, cheek-whiskers to below the ears, 

 the under side of the body, and inside of the Hmbs, ashy-grey; 

 the whiskers sometimes of the same colour as the back ; tail 

 darker grey. 



Distribution. — West Africa : Liberia. 



Habits. — Writing of this species, Frederic Cuvier observes 

 that it is of a happy disposition, gentle and companionable, 

 but rather petulant. Ceaselessly active, it indulges in the most 

 grotesque antics and attitudes, so that it has been believed [of 

 course erroneously] that they possess more joints in their bodies 

 than other species. The males especially have the constant 

 habit of making a grimace which exhibits their long canine teeth. 

 The females are still more gentle, and fond of being caressed. 



Mr. Biittikofer found this species to be rather rare in Liberia. 

 It was occasionally seen on low trees, but chiefly on the ground, 

 where it searches for fallen fruits.
