25 and 26. Varieties of the above. 



27 and 28. Male and female of the Squirrel 

 Monkey (Simia Sciurea). 



This is one of the smallest and most beautiful of 

 the Monkey tribe; is a native of South America^ 

 and with difficulty kept alive in this country. 



29. Fox-tailed Monkey (Simia Pithecia). 



The hair of this singular animal is very long, and 

 of a dark brown, or nearly black colour ; it is about 

 the size of a large cat ; is a native of Guinea, and is 

 said to be very fierce in its disposition. 



30. Several specimens of the Striated Monkey, or 

 Sanglin (Simia Jacchus). 



This extraordinary little animal, no larger than a 

 Squirrel, is an inhabitant of Brazil. In a native 

 state these Monkies are supposed to feed upon fruits, 

 but in a state of confinement they will occasionally 

 feed on insects, snails, &c. Edwards, in his Glean- 

 ings, makes mention of a pair of these animal?, which 

 belonged to a London merchant, who resided at 

 Lisbon; they had young at that place. These, at 

 their birth, were exceedingly ugly, having no fur : 

 they would frequently cling fast to the teats of the 

 dam ; and when they grew a little, used to hang 

 upon her back and shoulders. When she was 

 tired, she would rub them ofL against the wall, or 

 whatever else was near, as the only mode of ridding 

 herself of them. On being forced from the female, 

 the male immediately took them to him, and sutierea 

 them to hang round him, to ease her of the burden. 



Her Royal Highness the Duchess of York has 

 lately succeeded very well in breedmg these diminu* 

 tive and delicate little animals.
