GREAT-EARED MONKEY. 
It h^s neither cheek pouches, nor callosi- 
ties on the buttocks. The tail is flaccid, and 
twice the length of the body and head. The 
partition between the nostrils is very thick, 
and the apertures are placed at the sides. The 
face is of a dusky flesh-colour; the ears are 
square, large, naked, and of the same colour; 
the eyes are chesnut; and the upper lip is di- 
vided nearly like that of the hare. The head, 
bodv, and tail, are covered with soft black- 
ish brown hair ; and the hands and feet with 
short hair of an orange colour. The body 
and limbs are finely proportioned. 
The female of this species is not subject to 
the menses : indeed, BufFon elsewhere remarks, 
it will generally be found, that the apes, ba- 
boons, and monkies, with naked buttocks, 
are alone subject to this evacuation. 
Pennant says, that the hair on the forehead 
of the Great-Eared Monkey, is upright, and 
long ; that on the body, soft but shaggy. The 
head, whole body, and upper part of the 
limbs, he also says, are black; except the lower 
part of the back, which is tinged with yel- 
low.
