Habits.—Little is known of this Monkey beyond what Mr. 
Bates has told us, viz., that it is a great depredator of the fruit 
trees. ‘It is a most impudent thief; it destroys more than it 
eats by its random, hasty way of plucking and breaking the 
fruits, and when about to return to the forest, carries away all 
it can in its hands or under its arms.”
