It is a native of Brazil ; feeds on fruits, vegetables, 

 insects, and snails ; and is fond of fifti.

 adhered closely to the teats of their mother ; and 

 when grown a little larger, fixed themselves upon her 

 back, from which Ihe could not easily disengage thenj

 of the monkey . tribe, it is frequently kept in Portu- 

 gal as a pet in families ; but it is even there tender, 

 and iihpatient of cold.
