TAIL-LESS MAUCAUCO. 
The passage above alluded to, from the 
" Relation de Thevenot,^' is as follows. 
. *^ TheLoris/' says BulFon, " appears to be 
the same animal cf which Thevenot speaks in 
the following terms — " I saw, in the Mogul 
country, Apes which had been brought from 
Ceyion. They were much esteemed, because 
they exceeded not the size of a man's hand, 
and were of an uncommon species. Their 
front was flat ; their eyes large and round, and 
of a bright yellow colour, like those of cer- 
tain. Cats. I'heir muzzle is very sharp, and 
the inside of their ears is yellowi They have 
no tall. When I examined them, they stood 
on their hind-feet, often embraced each other, 
and looked stedfastiy at the people without 
being afraid." 
The error is, perhaps, to be ascribed to the 
name " 'I ail-less Maucauco :" as if, indeed, 
there were only one species of the Maucauco 
without a tail ; whereas, in fail, besides the 
Loris, the Indri, or Man of the Woods, de- 
scribed by Sonnerat, and classed among the 
Maucaucos by Pennant, has no tail.
