to observe, that the prevaiUng cast of the figure is 
a dull olive-brown, paler beneath ; with a face ex- 
actly resembling that of the S. Mormon^ of which 
I take it to be a bad general representation. The 
memorandum under the drawing states it to have 
been two feet and a half high.

This species is very finely figured in the Mu- 
seum Leverianum. It is of a robust frame^ ai^d 
is in height about three feet. Its general colour 
is a sort of ferruginous greyish-brown, owing to 
the alternate blackish and ferruginous rings 
with which every individual hair is marked^ and 
which give a kind of freckled appearance to the 
whole. The face^ hands^ and feet, are black ; the 
nails on the hand longish, but: rounded at their ex- 
tremities ; those on the toes somewhat longer and 
'more acuminate. The space on each side the 
tail is large, bare^ and red. The tail scarce three 
inches in length. It is an African species, and is 
said to be principally found in Guinea.
