MIDDLE-SIZED BLACK MONKEY. 
vliddle- Sized Black or Negro Monkey: but 
ve cannot go the length of BuiFon, in sup- 
)osing the latter to be also of the same, species 
vith the Talapoin ; which, we conceive, is a 
luite different animal. It must, however, be 
Lcknowledged, in justice to Buffon, that he 
^ives Edwards*s description, and refers to his 
igure, that the reader may compare the two 
mimals. W e agree In this mode of investiga- 
:ion, but not in the result. Indeed, after an 
attentive survey of both figures, we are at a 
OSS to conceive how Buffon has been enabled 
lO persuade himself that there exists, in the 
smallest degree, any thing which can be deno- 
minated a striking resemblance. Not only are 
ithey compleatly different in colour, our Mid- 
dle-sized Black Monkey being constantly what 
it's name denotes, and the Talapoin Monkey 
a dusky yellow, or brownish colour, and green ; 
but the general form, and particular features, 
vary considerably. Pennant, who makes them 
different species, says, " The Talapoin Mon- 
key has a sharp nose, round head, and large 
black naked ears. The eyes, and end of the 
nose, are flesh-coloured ; the hair on the cheeks 
is very long, and receded towards the ears.
