"The Allouates, or Howlers, inhabit the moilt forcfts, 

 in the neighbourhood of w.iters or marfhes. They arc com- 

 monly lound in the woody iflets of large flooded favannahs, 

 and never on the mountains of the interior of Guiana. They 

 go in fmall numbers, often in pairs, and fometimes fingly. 

 The cry, or rather horrible rattling fcream, which they 

 make, may well infpirc terror ; and iecms as if the forcfts 

 contained the united bowlings of all its favage inhabitaiits 

 together. It is comnionlv in the morning and evening that 

 they make this clamour : llay alfo repeat it in the courfc of 

 the day, jnd lometimes in the night. The found is (<« 

 ilrong and varied, that one often imagines it produced by 

 (everal of the animals at once, and is hirprifcd to find only 

 two or three, and fometimes only one. The allouate feldora 

 lire-, long in a Hate of captivity : it in a manner lofes its 

 voice, or at leall docs not exert it in the fame manner as 

 when wild. The male is larger than the femalct which latter 

 alwavi carrici her young on her back,
