LONG-NOSED MONKEY, 5 



Its size does not much exceed that of a squirrel. The 

 face is black, the upper parts of its body are yellowish- 

 green, and the tail is grey. It is a native of the Cape de 

 Verd Islands, the Cape of Good Hope, and some parts of 

 the East Indies. 



Chinese Monkey. The depredations committed by the 

 troops of these monkeys, in the corn-fields and sugar- 

 plantations of the East Indies, are sometimes greatly in- 

 jurious to the proprietors. When they find a deficiency 

 of other food, they descend to the sea-coasts, in order to 

 devour the shell-fish and crabs. 



The name of this monkey has been derived from the 

 hair on the top of its head being spread out on all 

 sides, so as somewhat to resemble a Chinese hat. The 

 upper parts of the body are of a pale brown colour, 

 mixed with yellow; and the lower parts are whitish. 

 It is about the size of a cat, and its tail is extremely 

 long. 



Long-nosed Monkey. This is a most grotesque-looking 

 animal, its face being naked, flesh-coloured, and furnished 

 with a singularly long and slender nose. It is a native of 

 some parts of Sierra Leona, and is hitherto but little 

 known. In its habits and disposition, however, it is un- 

 derstood to be mild and good-natured. 



The hair of the head is long and thick. That on the 

 upper part of the body and limbs is also long, and of a 

 pale rusty-brown colour, mixed with black. The tail is 

 of considerable length. In height this monkey usually 

 stands about two feet. 



Full-bottom Monkey. No creature can be much more
