and out-fide of the limbs was of a yellowifh- 
green colour ; the ends of the hairs being 
green, and the roots of a dark afh-colour, 
made a mixture, in which the green was 
predominant: the under fide of the body, 
and the inner fide of the limbs, were co- 
vered with a white or filver-coloured hair, 
lhorter and thinner fet than that on the 
back; this different colour went to the 
end of the tail, its upper fide being 
greenifh, and the under white. All the 
paws were fhaped a little like human 
hands, w T ith flat nails. I believe the whole 
genera of Monkies have only two nipples 
or teats, placed nearly as thofe on the 
breafls of women ; which is a ftrong ar- 
gument to me, that Monkies bring forth 
but one or two young ones at a birth. 
1 once had an opportunity of feeing, 
in the houfe of the late Duke of Rich- 
mond, at Whitehall, an old fhe Monkey, 
who had been brought to England with 
young; and fhe brought forth a Angle 
cub, of which fhe was very tender. It 
was pleafant to fee her hold it in her 
arms, and fuckle it : her actions and man- 
ner nearly refembled a woman’s nurfing 
her child. This fort of Monkey being 
pretty commonly brought into moft of 
the maritime trading parts of Europe, it 
has probably been defcribed by fome 
former Naturalift; though I can find no.

it will to feveral other forts of Monkies. 
four ci is. Le baut de la teie , le deffus du cou- 
rt du dbs, et le dehors des membres , etoient dun 
vert jaundtre : l 7 ext remite du poil etoit verte y 
et le bas vers la racine dlungris f once, d 7 ou 
il r efultoit un melange oit le vert dominoit , , Le 
ventre et le dedans des membres etoit convert 
de poil d 7 un blanc argent i, plus court et 
plus clair feme que fur le dos: ces deux cou- 
leurs continuoient jufqu 7 au bout de la queue ,, 
dont le deffus etoit vert , et le deffous blanc.. 
Louies les pates avoient des ongles plats , et 
reffembloient un peu par la figure d des 
mams humaines . fie crois que tons les Singes,, 
de quelqu 7 efpece que ce foit, n ont que deux tettes. 
ou mamelons difpofes fur la poitrine, a peu - 
pres comme aux femmes ; ce qui prouve claire - 
ment y felon moi , que les Singes ne font quum 
ou deux petits d chaque portee . 
fi 7 eus unefois occafion de voir , a White- 
hall, chez le feu Due de Richemond , une vi— 
elle guenon , qui avoit ete apportee en Angle - 
ter re etant pleine ; elle fit un feul petit,. 
qu 7 elle paroiffoit aimer fort tendrement : 
c 7 etoit un plaifir de la voir le tenir entre fes 
bras , et l 7 alaiter-, elle reffembloit tout-a-fait 
par fes adhons et fes manieres d une femme ' 
qui nourtt fon enfant . Comme il vient affez 
communement des Singes de cette efpece dans 
la pulpart des pays commerqants de l 7 Europe, 
il efi probable que quelques autres Natura- 
lifies en ayent parley maisje n 7 at point encore' 
trouve de figure, qui repondit mieux d celui-ci 
qua des Singes de plufieurs autres efpeces . .
