This is about the size of a small or half-grown 
cat : the head is round ; the face short and flesh- 
coloured, with a little whitish down upon it : the 
hair on the top of the head is erect in its growth 
and of a deep brown or blackish colour : the gene- 
ral colour of the animal is a pale brown ; the back, 
shoulders, and outsides of the limbs deeper than 
the other parts: the tail long, thickly covered 
with hair of a deep brown : the hands and feet of 
a dull blueish-black, and furnished with rounded 
nails. It is a native of Guiana. This species 
was first figured by Edwards. It has been known 
to breed in France. It is of a sprightly disposition, 
but is observed to be capricious in its affections 
when in a state of captivity, having a great fond- 
ness for some persons, and as great a hatred to 
others.
