The Tamarin or Great-eared Monkey is about 
the size of a squirrel. It is coal-black, except on 
the lower part of the back, which is of a reddish 
colour, and on the hands and feet, which are 
orange-coloured. The face is naked and flesh- 
coloured ; the ears very large, naked, of a squar- 
ish form, and of a dusky flesh colour : the tail 
very long and black. It is a native of the hot- 
ter parts of South America. The claws are small 
and sharp. It is extremely well figured by Ed- 
wards. It sometimes varies in havino- the face 
black instead of flesh-coloured. In this state it 
is described and figured in Buffon's seventh sup- 
plemental volume, under the title of Tamarin nlgre.
