long grey hair with which it is covered ; is rarely

16. Palatine Monkey (Simia Rolaway). 



This beautiful and gentle animal was brought from 

 the Slave Coast in Africa ; its colour appeared to have 

 changed much on its being confined, as the rich bay 

 on the inside of the limbs was turned to a yellowish 

 white ; its singular white beard gave it, whilst living, 

 an air of great gravity, and its manners were quite 

 inoffensive and mild. It died in the collection ot Mr. 

 Polito, in the winter of 1808, owing probably to the 

 severity of the weather.
