The fajous have neither cheek-pouches, nor 

 callofities on their buttocks. Their face and ears 

 are flelh-coloured, with a little down above. 

 The partition of the noftrils is thick, and their 

 apertures are placed at a fide, and not under the 

 nofe. The eyes are chefaut coloured, and fitu- 

 ated near each other. The tail is prehenfikj 

 naked below at the point, and very bufhy every 

 where elfe. In fome, the hair is black and 

 brown, both round the face, and upon all the 

 upper parts of the body. In others, the hair 

 round the face is gray, and of a browniih yel-

 and naked. From the point of the muzzle to 

 the origin of the tail, they exceed not a foot in 

 length. They walk on four feet. The females
