rkey tribes. We have known instances, where 
°'^every efFort of kindness has been tried to efface 
''^ some sudden impression of fear, or aversion, 
lentertained in consequence of an unknown 
'^'cause, for a person before it's chief favourite, 
without ever producing the desired reconci- 
^^iation. 
It may not be improper to notice, that Pen- 
juant, in the first editions of his History of 
^'^^5^^«^^^^^P^^s> ^^^^ BufFon, described our 
'i''i>3ush-Tailed Monkey as only a variety of the 
i al^apuchin species ; and Gmehn, also, enter- 
tains the same opinion. But Pennant, in his 
i' third edition, having discovered this to be er- 
oneous, separates the species ; and candidly 
lys, in describing the Capuchin, which foU 
)ws his Timid and our Bush-Tailed Monkey, 
!' the toes are crooked claws ; not flat nails, 
s those of the former.'^ Adding, " I confess 
ly inattention to that circumstance in my 
)rmer edition, which made me confound this^ 
ad the last species.'* 
The oversight seems to us easily accounted 
for>
