The Tamarin or Great-eared Monkey is about 

 the size of a squirrel. It is coal-black, except on 

 the lower part of the back, which is of a reddish 

 colour, and on the hands and feet, which are 

 orange-coloured. The face is naked and flesh- 

 coloured ; the ears very large, naked, of a squar- 

 ish form, and of a dusky flesh colour : the tail 

 very long and black. It is a native of the hot- 

 ter parts of South America. The claws are small 

 and sharp. It is extremely well figured by Ed- 

 wards. It sometimes varies in having the face 

 black instead of flesh-coloured. In this state it 

 is described and figured in Buifon's seventh sup- 

 plemental volume, under the title of Tamarin nkgre.
