This was certainly first described by Mr. Pen- 
nant, who formed his description from a speci- 
men in the Leverian Museum. The size and ge- 
neral habit of the animal are similar to those of 
the Capucin Monkey ; but the colours somewhat 
darker: it seems still more strongly allied to the 
Fatuellus, or Horned Monkey, from which it prin- 
cipally differs in not having a prehensile tail, and 
in the disposition of the black hair on the head, 
which stands up in a kind of circular cap or bon- 
ne t, instead of two tufts as in that species. The 
face and breast are of a pale yellow-brown; the 
back deeper; and the lower part of the back, 
arms, and legs, blackish-brown. Mr. Buffon, in his 
seventh supplemental volume, describes and figures 
this species from a living specimen : and seems to 
think it most allied to the Chinese-bonnet Mon- 
key.
