  of 
  this 
  species. 
  It 
  was 
  nearly 
  black, 
  but 
  just 
  showing 
  the 
  light 
  golden 
  

   hair 
  coming 
  on 
  the 
  under 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  body 
  and 
  tail, 
  some 
  few 
  white 
  

   hairs 
  on 
  the 
  cheeks, 
  and 
  slight 
  golden 
  crest, 
  sufficient 
  to 
  identify 
  the 
  

   species. 
  I 
  bought 
  it 
  of 
  the 
  Indian, 
  and 
  managed 
  to 
  bring 
  it 
  alive 
  to 
  

   Yurimaguas, 
  where 
  it 
  died. 
  

  

  "On 
  my 
  arrival 
  I 
  was 
  informed 
  by 
  some 
  of 
  my 
  old 
  Indians, 
  that 
  

   they 
  discovered 
  this 
  Monkey 
  during 
  my 
  absence 
  on 
  the 
  Upper 
  Hual- 
  

   laga, 
  (on 
  the 
  south 
  eastern 
  shore). 
  ' 
  One 
  of 
  the 
  Indians 
  said 
  that 
  he 
  

   brought 
  three 
  young 
  ones 
  alive, 
  which 
  died 
  soon 
  after 
  his 
  arrival 
  in 
  the 
  

   town. 
  I 
  here 
  give 
  an 
  idea 
  of 
  the 
  great 
  range 
  this 
  Monkey 
  inhabits, 
  

   owing 
  to 
  the 
  ease 
  with 
  which 
  a 
  beast 
  that 
  can 
  use 
  his 
  long 
  arms 
  and 
  tail 
  

   may 
  travel 
  a 
  country 
  of 
  this 
  description. 
  It 
  is 
  found 
  on 
  both 
  sides 
  of 
  

   the 
  Peruvian 
  Amazon 
  (or 
  Maranon), 
  on 
  both 
  shores 
  of 
  the 
  Huallaga, 
  

   and 
  in 
  the 
  interior 
  forest 
  near 
  the 
  town 
  of 
  Chamicuros. 
  I 
  was 
  told 
  

   by 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  oldest 
  Indians 
  that 
  these 
  animals 
  are 
  common 
  in 
  the 
  

   dense 
  forest 
  on 
  the 
  hills 
  near 
  the 
  latter 
  town, 
  their 
  range 
  running 
  

   between 
  the 
  Huallaga 
  River 
  and 
  Ucayali 
  River 
  to 
  the 
  head 
  waters 
  

   of 
  the 
  Huallaga, 
  between 
  the 
  towns 
  of 
  Lamas 
  and 
  Sarayagu. 
  Here 
  

   they 
  occupy 
  the 
  interior 
  forest, 
  and 
  appear 
  to 
  be 
  common, 
  according 
  to 
  

   accounts 
  given 
  me 
  by 
  Indians 
  of 
  that 
  country 
  — 
  as 
  also 
  on 
  the 
  lower 
  

   spurs 
  of 
  the 
  mountains 
  between 
  the 
  towns 
  of 
  Moyabamba 
  and 
  the 
  

   Huallaga 
  River. 
  

  

  "Then 
  again 
  on 
  the 
  Rio 
  Tigri, 
  north 
  western 
  shores 
  of 
  the 
  Great 
  

   Maranon, 
  there 
  is 
  not 
  the 
  slightest 
  doubt 
  that 
  this 
  species 
  is 
  to 
  be 
  

   found 
  ranging 
  along 
  the 
  lower 
  spurs 
  of 
  the 
  Andes, 
  across 
  Ecuador 
  and 
  

   Colombia, 
  over 
  the 
  head 
  waters 
  of 
  the 
  Rio 
  Napo, 
  Rio 
  Japuri, 
  and 
  Rio 
  

   Negro, 
  where 
  Natterer 
  first 
  discovered 
  it."
