FAIR MONKEY. 
The following are the distinctive characters 
of this species, as subjoined by BufFon— 
The Mico has neither cheek - pouches, 
nor callosities on the buttocks. The tail is 
about one half longer than the head and 
body, and is not prehensile. The partition 
of the nostrils is thinner than that of the 
other Sagoins ; but their apertures are placed 
at the sides. It's face and ears are naked, and 
of a vermilidn colour. The muzzle is short. 
The eyes are distant from each other. I'he 
ears are large. The hair is of a beautiful 
silver-white colour; and that^ of the tail, a 
glossy browui, approaching to black. It walks 
on four feet, and the body exceeds not seven or 
eight inches in length. The Females are not 
subject to the menses." 
To this, which is the whole of BufFon's 
account, may be added, that the claws on the 
thumbs, fingers, and toes, are all crooked, nar- 
row, and pointed ; but, that the great-toes have 
flat rounded nails.
