 with white EYE-LIDS. 



WE have had two individuals of this fpecies, 

 both of which were fent to us under 

 the appellation of Madagafcar apes. It is eal'y 

 to dlftinguilli the mangabeys from all the other 

 monkeys by a very remarkable charader. Their 

 eye-lids are naked, and of a very fplendid white 

 colour. They have a thick, broad, long muzzle, 

 and a prominent ring round their eyes. Some 

 of them have the hair on the head, neck, and 

 upper part of the body of a yellow brown co- 

 lour, and that on the belly white. In others, 

 the hair on the head and body is lighter; and 

 they are dillinguifhed from the reft by a broad 

 collar of white hair, which lurrounds their neck 

 and cheeks. Both carry their tail arched, and 

 its hair is long and bulliy. They come from 

 the fame country as the vari, or ruffed mau- 

 cauco; and, as they refemble him in the length
