FAIR MONKEY. 
This curious and beautiful little animal ap- 
pears to be of a most scarce species, inhabiting 
the country near the River of the Amazons, in 
South America. It is, indeed, one of the 
many objects in natural history which, rest- 
ing on a single authority, might have the rea- 
lity of their' existence suspected, if the vera- 
city of the original describer were not to be 
relied on. 
j . Monsieur De la ,CondamIn'e, in his cele- 
Ibrated " Voyage sur la Riviere des Ama- 
[zones," first notices this animal; and, from 
|his description, all subsequent writers have 
Iformed their respective accounts, 
! It is the ,Simia Sagoinus Argentatus, of 
Linnseus; the Mico, of Buffon, and of Schre- 
ber; and the Fair Monkey, of Pennant. 
Brisson characterises it, ^' Cercopithecus ex 
|Cinereo Albus Argenteus, Facie Auriculisque 
Rubris spleadentibus, Cauda Castanei Co- 
lons
