ST. JAGO MONKEVi 
two young ones at a birth. I once had an 
opportunity of seeing, in the house of the late 
Duke of Richmond, at Whitehall, an old 
She-Monkey, who had been brought to 
England with young ; and she brought forth 
.a single cub, of which she was very tenderc 
It was pleasant to see her hold it in her arms, 
and suckle it. Her adiion, and manner, nearly 
i resembled a woman's nursing her child. This 
sort of Monkey being pretty commonly 
brought into most of the maritime trading 
parts of Europe, it has' probably been de- 
scribed by some former naturalist; though I 
can find no figure, that will answer better to 
this, than it will to several other sorts of 
Monkeys." 
The above is the entire description of the 
St. Jago Monkey, as given by Edwards ; whose 
figure still remains superior to any other within 
our knowledge. They are all liable to the ob- 
je61;ion which he has so judiciously noticed.

radlers of this species, that the Callitrix, or 
Green Monkey, has cheek-pouches, and caU 
losities
