ST. JAGO MONKEY. 
are White Monkeys, which the ancients have 
likewise denoted by the generical name of 
CaUitrix. Prosper Alpinus, and Pietro della 
Valle, mention these White Monkeys, which 
they call CalUtrices. We have not," says 
BufFon, " seen this species : it is, perhaps, 
only a variety of the Green Monkey, or of the 
Mona, which is very common in these coun- 
tries. The Green Monkey seems, also, to be 
found in Senegal ; as well as in Mauritania, 
and the Cape de Verde Islands. M. Adanson 
relates, that the woods of Podor, along the 
River Niger, are filled with Green Monkeys.'* 
Pennant says, " the Green Monkey is also 
found in the East Indies, from whence Sir 
Ashton Lever had his specimen." 
The following sele6ted remarks, by Dr. Gold- 
smith, on the great diversity of Monkeys, and 
their general habits, are at least curious — • 
" The varieties in the form and colour of 
Dogs, ®r Squirrels, is nothing, to what are 
found among Monkeys of the smaller kind, 
Bosnian mentions above fifty sorts, on the Gold 
Coast
