DESCRIPTION. In this newly-discovered Monkey, the head, back, 

 and cheeks, are ash-coloured, with a slight mixture of brown on the 

 hips and rump, the hairs being every where annulated with white, and 

 thus partially speckled ; the arms, fore-arms, thighs, legs, and paws, are 

 black ; the whole of the chin and throat are of a pure, unmixed white ; the 

 cheeks, the whiskers, and head, are of a grizzled ash-colour, like the 

 back and sides ; the face is apparently of a greyish blue ; the belly is 

 ash-coloured ; the tail is about the length of the body, but has lost the 

 greater part of the hair : what remains, however, is of the same colour as 

 that of the body ; size, that of the Diana. 



The only known specimen exists in the Leyden Museum ; it was 

 purchased at Amsterdam, in 1824, and is said to have been brought 

 from the Coast of Guinea, but remained undescribed till the year 1838, 

 when Mr. Ogilby published, in his work on Monkeys, Lemurs, &c., a 

 clear and concise summary of its characters ; and, as a tribute of respect to 

 the celebrated naturalist, M. Temminck, proposed for it the name of 

 C. Temminckii. 



GENERAL HISTORY. After what has been stated, it is almost useless 

 to say that the habits and manners of this animal are utterly unknown, 

 as far, at least, as they are peculiar to the species. As, however, it is 

 clearly allied to the Diana, the Mona, and the Diadem Monkeys, its 

 instincts and disposition are probably similar.
