brown, equally well defined with the other markings, 
commences between the shoulders and extends to the 
root of the tail, becoming broader and broader as it 
advances backwards. The length of the animal from 
the extremity of the muzzle to the crupper is about 
eighteen inches, and that of the tail about two feet. 
It is furnished with small but distinct callosities ; and 
with cheek-pouches of no very great extent. 
The Diana Monkey is one of the most graceful and 
good-tempered of its tribe. Like the greater number 
of them, however, its disposition is more mild and 
pliant in youth than after it has attained its full matu- 
rity. It is fond of being caressed, and nods and grins 
with peculiar expression when pleased ; but after a 
certain age it becomes more sedate and seldom indulges 
in these antics. Our specimen was for some months 
in the Collection at Bruton Street, and was moderately 
playful and quite familiar.
