The very remarkable appearance of the eyelids 
is alone sufficient to distinguish this species from 
most others : they are of a clear white, and the face 
itself is black, void of hair, and shaped somewhat 
like that of a Dog. It is about the size of a Cat, 
and is generally of a very deep or blackish colour, 
with a tinge of ferruginous on the upper parts. 
It is known to vary, however, sometimes with the 
throat and space round the neck white: the tip 
of the tail also is in some white, and in others 
ferruginous; in others the cheeks, neck, and 
whole under side of the body are white. Though 
the white eyelids in this Monkey form a remark- 
able character, yet they are not peculiar to this 
species alone.
