HISTORY OF QUADRUPEDS. 



The PINCHE, or Red-tailed MONKEY, 



is fomewhat larger than the Ouftiti. — It is remarkable in 

 having a great quantity of fmooth white hair, which falls 

 down from the top of its head on each fide, forming a 

 curious contrafh with its face, which is black, thinly co- 

 vered with a fine grey down : Its eyes are black and five- 

 ly ; throat black ; hair on the back and fhoulders of a 

 light reddifh-brown colour; breaft, belly, and legs, 

 white ; the tail is long, of a red colour from the rump to 

 the middle, from thence to the end it is black. 



The Pinche inhabits the woods on the banks of the ri- 

 ver of Amazons; is a lively, beautiful little animal; has 

 a foft whittling voice, refembling more the chirping of a 



bird than the cry of a quadruped. It frequently walks 



with its long tail over its back.
