17. Long-nosed Monkey (Simia Nasuta). 



18, 19, and 20. Three specimens of the Long' 

 armed. Four -fingered , or Spider 3Ionkey (Simia Pa- 

 niscus). 



One of these was received from South Ameri- 

 ca in the summer of 1808, and lived for some 

 time. In general, its appearance was extremely 

 disgusting ; the arms were of an extraordinary- 

 length, and the hands destitute of all appear- 

 ance of thumbs; the tail is also of a great length, 

 is bare for a considerable way near the tip, 

 by means thereof it could reach any thing as well as 

 with its hands. The whole animal, except the face, 

 hands, and end of the tail, is covered with long 

 coarse black hair, thinly disposed, except on the 

 head, where it grew forward in the same manner 

 as the haman species, giving to its mulatto-coloured 

 face the appearance of a miserably wretched old 

 man. Its disposition was extremely gentle and in- 

 offensive, but so timid, as never to be familiar ; if 

 held by the hands, it uttered a doleful cry, and fre- 

 quently tears ran from its eyes, but never shewed 

 the least inclination to bite. 



21. A white variety of the above. 



22. Roi/al Monkey (Simia Seniculus). 



Is a native of Cayenne, and is sometimes called 

 the Preacher, or Hoivler, from their custom of as- 

 sembling together, and making a most horrible noise 

 in the woods. 



23 and 24. Fearful, or Ring-tailed Monkey (Simia 

 Trepida). 



Native of Guinea ; of a lively disposition : is fre- 

 quently kept in France.
