magu, sive boot Indorum. 



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



c< Magnitudinem, quag Gliris est, icon exprimit, 

 et communiter adhuc minor, & gracilior est. 

 Facies leonina : oculi rubric magni, rotundi, ut 

 nocture, nunquam aut raro conniventes : aures 

 pellucidas, depiles. Pilus murium luteolus aut 

 aureolus. Gesticulationes lepidae ut Simian. 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- 

 dicEj et aliis vescatur fructibus. 



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



(C B arborem scandens. 



" C sedens et terrens, cum timet. 



*f D incedens cum prole, quam ad ventrem, 

 plantae volubilis Pamago funic ulis alligatam su- 

 gientem gerit. Pamago vero Indi ad recidivate 

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



i{ 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.
