The Fox-tailed Monkey is about the size of 
a large cat, and is an animal of a very remark- 
able appearance. It is entirely of a dusky-brown 
colour^ with a slight cast of ferruginous ; except 
on the head and face; the middle of the face or 
nose being black, bare^ and surrounded by white 
downy hair on the cheeks and forehead, and 
which, gradually expanding on the top and sides 
of the head, forms a verv thick and full kind of 
beard, which divides under the chin, so as to 
leave in that part a bare space. This gives a 
highly singular aspect to the face. The eyes are 
large^ and the ears round and flat : the feet and 
hands are furnished with sharpish claws ; the tail 
is equal to the body in lengthy and most ex- 
tremely villose or full of hair. A most elegant 
and perfect specimen of this animal is in the Le- 
verian Museum, and is very finely represented in 
the Museum Leverianum. It is a native of 
Guiana. The tusks in this species are remark- 
ably large. In the 7th supplemental volume to
