The body of the Mustache is about a foot in 

 length, and the tail about a foot and half. The 

 general colour of the animal is reddish- cinereous, 

 the head inclining to yellowish, but mixed or 

 shaded with black. The under parts are paler 

 than the upper: the upper half of the tail is of 

 the same colour with the body; the remainder 

 yellowish. The face is bare and of a blueish 

 black; the nose blunt, with a dilated transverse 

 white patch immediately below it: the edges of 

 both lips and the space round the eyes black : on 

 the cheeks before the ears are two large tufts of 

 yellowish hairs like mustaches : the ears round 

 and tufted with whitish hairs : the hair on the 

 top of the head somewhat upright. In the 

 Linnsean description of this species mention is 

 made of a transverse crescent-shaped band over 

 the eye-brows : it is also added, that the eyelids 

 are white ; but in this description Linnaeus seems 

 to have confounded it with the preceding species, 

 or rather to have considered it in the light of a 

 variety.
