but the tail fcarcely more than three. It Inhabits 
Madagafcar as well as Cochin-China; and often

ifli hairs; there is a collar of purplifh brown round 
it's neck; the lower parts of it's arnns and tail are 
white; the upper parts of it's arms and thighs are

tlyghs; it's feet are black j and it's rump is co- 
vered with hair.

nine teeth in the lower jaw ; the hair on the upper

Monkey, Goat. This animal has a long 
beard, refembling that of a goat ; the face is naked, 
of a deep blue colour, and obliquely ribbed; the 
body and limbs are a deep brown; and the tail 
is long. There is a beautiful drawing of this ani- 
mal in the Britifh Mufeum. 
Monkey, Full-Bottom. This fpecies inha- 
bits the forefts of Sierra Leona, where it is called 
Bey, or King Monkey. The negroes hold it's 
fkin in the higheft eftimation, and apply it to va- 
rious beneficial purpofes. It has a fhort black 
naked face, and a fmall head ; it's ihoulders are 
befpread with long coarfe flowing hair refembling 
a full-bottomed periwig, and of a dirty yellow 
colour mixed with black; it's body, arms, and 
legs, are of a fine gloflTy blacknefs, covered with 
fhort hairs ; it's hands are naked, and furnlHied 
with no more than four fingers; and on each foot 
there are five very long flender toes. The tail is 
very long, and of a fnowy v/hitenefs, with very 
long hair at the end, forming a tuft; the body and

Linneeus. This animal has a flat face, and long 
hair on the forehead and cheeks; the upper part 
of the body and limbs is of a tavmy brown co- 
lour; the belly is cinereous; the tail, which is 
Ihorter than the body, is annulated with a darker 
and lighter brown; and the hands are black and 
naked. 
Monkey, Philippine; the Simia Syrichta of 
Linnseus. This obfcure fpecies is mentioned only 
by Petiver, who fays that it is a native of the Phi- 
lippine i Hands, and that it's mouth and eyes are 
befet with long hairs. 
Having defcribed the Monkies of the old world, 
we fliall attend to thofe of the new, which have 
, neither pouches in their jaws nor naked pofteriors. 
Monkey, Preacher; the Simia Beelzebub of 
Linnaeus ; and the Ouarine of Bufibn. This fpe- 
cies is about the fize of a fox, with long black 
hair; and a long tail, always twifted at the end. 
It has black Ihining eyes, fhort round ears, and 
a round beard under the chin and throat. It in- 
habits the woods of Brazil and Guiana, and is the 
largeft of the Monkey kind found in America. 
It's voice is remarkably ioud, and itmakes amoft

dreadful howling. It is comnioa for one of tlieic 
creatures to afcend a lofty tree, and the reft to 
place themfelves on the branches below. I'hat 
Monkey who is elevated above the reft kts up a 
loud and fhrill howl, which may be heard at a 
great diftance. After having harangued his coin- 
panions for fome time, he makes a fignal with iii.s 
hand, when the whole aflx^mbly immediately join 
in chorus; and, on a fecond fignal, they become 
filent, and the orator finilhes his fpeech. I'heir 
clamour, on fuch occafions, is more difagreeable 
and tremendous than can eafily be conceived, i 
Thefe Monkies are very fierce, inifchievous, arjd 
untameable. 
Monkey, Four-Fingered ; the Simia Panif- 
cus of LinniEus. This Monkey may be uiftln- 
guifhed from the reft, by having no thumb, and 
confequently but four fingers on each of the two 
fore paws: but the tail fupplies the defefts of the 
hand; and with this the animal flings itfelf from 
tree to tree with furprifing aftivity. It has five 
toes on the hind-feet; a flender body; and a long 
tail: tlie body, Vv'hich is about eighteen inches 
long, is covered with long black rough hair. 
Thefe Monkies inhabit the vicinities of Car- 
thagena, Brazil, and Peru. Being extrem.ely 
agile, they greatly enliven the forefts in which they 
refide. In order to pafs from the top of one lofty 
tree to another, whole branches are too diftant for 
a leap, they form a kind of chain, by hanging 
down linked to each other by their tails; and 
fwinging in that manner till the lowermoft catches 
hold of a bough of the next tree, and draws up 
the reft: and Ulloa informs us, that they pafs ri- 
vers after the fame manner. They are fometimes 
imported into England, but are too delicate to live 
Ions; in this climate. 
Monkey, Timid; the Simia Trepida of Lin- 
nsus. This fpecies has a yellowifh flefh-coloured 
face; it's hands and feet are covered with a black 
i]<in; and it's tail, which is longer tlian it's head 
and body, is frequently carried over it's fhoulders. 
It is a native of Guiana, and a very lively Ipecies; 
but, when domefticated, is extremely capricious, 
fliewing a great afteftion for Ibme perfons, and a 
great averfion for others. 
Monkey, Capuchin; the Simia Capucina of 
Linnreus; and the Sai of Buffon. This fpecies, 
which inhabits South America, has a round head; 
a flat flefh- coloured face, encircled with upright 
v/hitifh hairs; and a breaft covered with long 
fnaggy pale yellow hair. The head is black; 
the body and tail are of a deep duflvy brov/n co- 
lour; the tail is extremely long; and the toes are 
furnifhed with crooked claws. 
Monkey, Weeper ; the Simia Apella of Lin- 
naeus. This animal is called the Weeper from 
it's peculiar manner of lamenting v^'hen either 
threatened or beat. It is very deformed; has a 
round flattifh face; and is of a reddifli brown co- 
lour. The hair on the head and the upper part 
of the body is black, tinged with brown; and be- 
neath, and on the limbs, tinged with red. The 
tail, v/hich is black, is much longer than the head 
and body; and the hair is very long, and thinly 
difperfed. 
Thefe Monkies, which inhabit Surinam and 
Brazil, are of very melancholy d^fpofitions, and 
appear as if always in tears ; but, nevertlielefs, are 
extremely fond of imitating the human fpecies. 
They afl<)ciate in large companies; and make a 
loud chattering, efpecially in ftormy weather.
