6*8 PHILIPPINE MONKEY. 



magu, she boot Indorum. 



Cercopithecus ex Luzonis minimus. Camel Mss. Br. Mas. 



" Magnitudinem, quae Gliris est, icon exprimit, 

 et communiter adhuc minor, & gracilior est. 

 Facies leonina: oculi rubri, magni, rotundi, ut 

 noctuae, nunquam aut raro conniventes : aures 

 pellucidas, depiles. Pilus murium luteolus aut 

 aureolus. Gesticulation es lepidas ut Simias. Cau- 

 da et pedes posterius longitudinis reliqui corporis. 

 Raro interdiu apparet, hinc eum caecutire putant. 

 Progreditur ordinarie saltando, et restrorsum vel 

 in obliquum velocius quam antrorsum. N arrant 

 vivere carbone, &c. sed falsum est, cum ficu In- 

 dica, et aliis vescatur fructibus. 



" L. A sedens, et comedens, ut Simius dextra, 



" B arborem scandens. 



" C sedens et terrens, cum timet. 



if D incedens cum prole, quam ad ventrem, 

 plantae volubilis Pamago funiculis alligatam su- 

 gientem gerit. Pamago vero Indi ad recidivas 

 commendant." Camel. Mss. torn. 6. Mus. Brit. 



,f The figure shews the size of the animal, 

 which is that of a Glis or Loir *, and it is often 

 seen still smaller : the face is like that of a lion : 

 the eyes red, large, and round, like those of an 

 owl; and never, or but rarely, closing: the ears 

 pellucid and void of hair: the fur mouse-like, and 

 of a yellowish or gold-coloured cast. Its motions 

 are lively, like those of a monkey. The tail and 

 hind feet are of the length of the rest of the body. 



* The greater Dormouse, or garden Squirrel.
