This is about the size of a small or half-grown 

 cat : the head is round ; the face short and flesh- 

 coloured, with a little whitish down upon it: the 

 hair on the top of the head is erect in its growth 

 and of a deep brown or blackish colour : the gene- 

 ral colour of the animal is a pale brown ; the back, 

 shoulders, and outsides of the limbs deeper than 

 the other parts : the tail long, thickly covered 

 with hair of a deep brown : the hands and feet of 

 a dull blueish-black, and furnished with rounded 

 nails. It is a native of Guiana. This species 

 was first figured by Edwards. It has been known 

 to breed in France. It is of a sprightly disposition, 

 but is observed to be capricious in its affections 

 when in a state of captivity, having a great fond- 

 ness for some persons, and as great a hatred to 

 others.
