193. pi. cclxxix. 



Inhabits Surinam.— The body is brown on the upper, and rufty coloured on the under parts ; 

 the hair of the head forms a black, erecl:, hemifpherical tuft ; the tail is hairy, and the nails are all 

 rounded. — Perhaps only a variety of the Simla apella, or Capuchin, No. 71.? Gm — The face and 

 ears are iiefh coloured, and fomewhat downy; the eyes are chefhut coloured, and fitaated near each 

 other; the tail is prehenfile, naked below at the extremity, and very bufhy every where eHe; the 

 hands are always black and naked: It walks on four feet, and does not exceed a foot in length from 

 the muzzle to the origin of the tail. There are two varieties of this fpecies, the brown and the grey, 

 which differ in colour only: They are both of the fame fize, and have th 1 ire and difpo- 



fitions ; are both very agile, nimble, dexterous, and amufing. Buffon had them botn a!.-, e ; and, of 

 all the Sapajous, their conftitution feems to be beft adapted for the climate of Europe: If kept in 

 a chamber during winter, they will live comfortably for feveral years ; and there are feveral ex- 

 amples of the fpecies producing in France. The females are apt to be miftaken for males from a 

 remarkable prominence of the clitoris. It is a whimfical animal in its tafte and affections, being fond, 

 of particular perfons, and difcovering the greateft averfion to others.

 top of the head, middle of the back, tail, legs, and pofterior parts of the thighs, are black ; toe- 

 nails are long, and rather blunt; the tail is prehenfile and twilled fpirally. Perhaps of the fame 

 fpecies with the Simia apella, or Capuchin ?. Gm. — This, in all probability, is one of the factitious, 

 fpecies, purpofely deformed, by exhibitors of wild beafts, to impofe on the public. — T.

 Schreber, i. 119. tab. xxviii "Weeper. Penn. hift. of quad. 11. 118. 



Inhabits South -America. — An active animal, conftantly looking about, on all fides, and is not 

 much incommoded by cold weather ; its cry refernbles that of a hungry turkey pout; the circumfe- 

 rence of the face has the appearance of having been fhaved. — This and the Sajou, or Simia trepida, 

 are probably the fame fpecies, and even the fame variety, called Brown Sajou by the Count de- 

 BiuTon.— T.
