BLACK MAUCAUC6. 
a muzzle like the Martin. This species is Rot| 
so troublesome and malicious as the other 
kinds. The Antavarres have the same kind 
of hair with the former, and a white ruff 
round the neck. Some of them are entirely- 
white, with a long muzzle. They are as 
large as the former, and grunt hke Hogs. 
This passage," adds Buffon, plainly 
points out the Mongous and Vari ; and it is on 
this authority I have said, that some Varis are 
black, others pied, and others entirely white.'* 
This authority, as quoted, appears to us, 
however, scarcely sufficient to bear out Buf- 
fon in all his distin6lions of colour : nor does 
it by any means tend, to confirm the vague ac- 
count, adopted also, in part, by Pennant, of 
the fury of tigers ; the multiplied noises ; and 
the loud voice of this little animal, most in- 
credibly likened to the roaring of a lion: pro- 
perties which, we suspeft, if not resulting 
from the proverbial privilege of travellers, 
must be applied, at least, to some otlier ani- 
mal, of superior magnitude to our Black Mau- 
cauco, which is more soberly described by 
the incomparable Edvv'ards.
