This is one of the most elegant of the tribe. 
It is generally about the size of a Cat. Its pre- 
vaihng colour is a fine olive, which when narrowly 
inspected^ seems a little varied with grey. The 
under parts of the animal and the insides of the 
limbs are of a light silvery grey. The face is of a 
dusky reddish or swarthy flesh colour ; the nose 
black ; the cheeks furnished with thick and long 
pale-yellow hair, falHng back on each side the 
face, and almost co\ering the ears, which are 
shaped like the human, and of a black colour. 
This species is a native of several parts of Africa, 
where, like most other Monkies, it inhabits 
woods. It is also said to be found in some parts 
of the East Indies. In its native regions the 
colour is said to be much more elegant than 
when imported into Europe : the beautiful green 
soon fading into an olive colour. It is, however, 
in general, sufficient to ascertain the species, 
which is therefore commonly known by the name 
of the Green Monkey. It has been extremely 
well figured by Edwards.
