from his manfion-hotife to receive fuch 
animals. I do not know that this fpecies 
has been defcribed. 
In Oxford-Road, near Soho-Square, I 
lately (A. D. 1761.) faw, at a houfe where 
they fhevv wild beads, &c. a Black Monkey 
fomething like the above-defcribed : they 
called him a Spider Monkey, from his 
thinnefs and the length of his limbs and 
tail : his face was of a flefh-colour ; he 
held fad by his tail by twiding it round any 
thing. His great fingularity, and what I 
never obferved before, was, that the hands 
had four fingers only, the thumbs being 
wanting. There was at the fame place 
another long-limbed four-finger’d Monkey, 
in all refpe&s like the former, except that 
the hair was brown. I was willing to make 
this memorandum, becaufe this genus of 
Monkey had not been before difcovered 
by me.

En pajjhnf dernier ement par la rue d'Ox- 
ford , pres du quarre de Soho , je vis d'une 
maifon oil Ton montroit des animaux fauvages , 
un Singe noir aJJ'ez fertiblable a celui dont

loient le Singe Aragnee , a caufe de fa queue 
et de fes membres fort longs et fort menus . 
La face etoit couleur de chair : il satta- 
choit fort ement par la queue en la tournant 
autour de tout ce quil attraproit . Ce quil 
avoit de fort particular, et que je nai jamais 
remarque auparavant* cejl, quil n avoit 
que quatre doigts aux mains , fans ponces. 
II y avoit au mane endroit un autre Singe 
a longs membres, et nayant que quatre 
doigts, d tons egards au refte comme le pre- 
cedent, excepte que le poil etoit brun . fai 
juge d propos de faire cette remarque, par — 
ceque ce genre de Signe m etoit jufque dlors 
inconnu .

The Bufli-tailed Monkey. 
T HIS Monkey was about the fize of a 
half-grown Cat : it was a male, with- 
out any figns of vicioufnefs. Its nature 
feemed to be more delicate than in the 
larger Monkies. It was humourfome in its 
affe&ions, having a great fondnefs for fome 
perfons, and a violent averfion to others ; 
and condant in both.
