THE ENTELLTJS MONKEY. 

 PLATE IX. 



From a Specimen in the ddinburgli Royal Zoological 

 Gardens. 



THIS rare Monkey, of which there have been several 

 specimens in these Gardens, thrives very ill in this 

 <:liinate, never showing any activity, being always 

 dull and heavy, although never fretful; showing 

 very little agility or disposition to playfulness, even 

 though surrounded by others, sporting all manner 

 of antics. It sits amidst the bustle with dull glaring 

 yes, totally indifferent to every effort made to in- 

 duce it to join the fun along with the rest. The 

 specimens at the Gardens have varied in colour, 

 from a dull fawn all over the body, lighter beneath, 

 to a pale ashy white; face in all the specimens 

 purplish-black ; hands of a dead flesh colour.
