It is figured, though very badly, and 
defcribed, by Gul. Pifo, in his Nat. Hift. 
of Brazil, p. 22 7, and from him is de- 
fcribed by Ray in his Synopfis Methodica 
Animalium Quadrupedum, p. 154. It 
feems alfoto be the Cercopithecus, Sagouin, 
of Clufius, figured in his Exoticks, vol. II. 
p. 372. Johnfton, in his Hiftory of Qua- 
drupeds, has given the figures from both 
Pifo and Clufius, as leparate and diflind 
animals. His figure from Pifo he by' 
miftake calls Caitaia, that name landing 
in Pifo nearer the figure of the Cagui, than 
its own proper name. J. Ludolphus, in 
in his Hiftory of Ethiopia, or AbyfTmia, 
hath given two figures of this animal. 
They are defcribed, p, 58, in the Englifli 
tranflation of that work : he calls it Fonkes, 
or Guereza but his defcription doth not 
agree at all with the figures : fo that I ima- 
gine, this was met with in Holland, and 
luppofed to be the little monkey defcribed 
by Ludolphus $ though it was really 
brought from Brazil, which was pof- 
fefled by the Hollanders at the time of 
the publication of that hiftory. Jacob. 
Theod. Klein, in his book De Quadru- 
ped. Lipfiae, 1751, has given a figure as 
bigas life, tab. III. defcribed at p. 87, where 
he has figured the tail of a greater thicknefs 
than ever I obferved any of them to be, 
tho’ I have feen five or fix of thefe animals 
living. The lafl author, and who has 
given the fulled and belt defcription of the 
Cagui, is James Parfons, M.D. andF.R.S. 
who has faid fo much of him, and de- 
fcribed him fo well, in the Philofophical 
Tranfadions, vol. XLV 1 I. p. 146, that 
he has fpared me the trouble of faying 
lbme things which otherwife I might have 
faid ; but the Dodor had not the good 
luck to meet with a fubjed fo vigorous and 
full of furr, as fome of thofe I law, after 
his was publifhed. Lord Kingfton’s I

Guil. Pifon a donne une figure , mats tres 
imparfaite , et une defcription de cet animal, 
dans fon Hiftoire Nature lie du Brafil *, et 
Ray en a parle d' apres lui llparoit que 
c eft aujfi le Cercopithecus , Sagouin , de Clu- 
fius, dont il a donne la figure dans fes Ex - 
otiques §. Johnfton a donne , dans fon Hif- 
toire des Quadrupedes, les figures de Pifon et 
de Clufius, comme de deux animaux difiinBs, 
appellant par meprife Caitaia, la figure qiiil 
a copiee de Pifon , ce nom etant place dam 
Pifon plus pres du Cagui, que du Caitaia. 
Jean Ludolphe, dans fon Hiftoire d'Ethiopie, 
ou Ahyjjinie , a donne deux figures de cet ani- 
mal ; on en trouve les defcriptions d la page 
58 de la traduBion Angloife de cet ou- 
trage : il r appelle Fonkes, ou Guereza $ mais 
fa defcription ne repond point dutout aux 
figures ; de foi'te que je ni imagine que cela 
a ete trouve en Hollande , et qu on a fuppofe, 
que c etoit le petit Jinge decrit par Ludolphe, 
quoiqii il eut ete apporte par les Hollandois, 
du Brafil qui leur appartemit dans le temps 
de la publication de cette hiftoire . Jacob . 
Theod. Klein en a donne une figure de grandeur 
naturelle, et une defcription , dans Jon livre 
des ^uadrupedes || .* mais il en a fait la 
queue beaucoup plus grofie que jen en ai ja- 
mais vie, quoique j aye examine cinq ou fix 
de ces animaux en vie. Le dernier auteur, 
et qui a donne la plus complette et la plus 
exacie defcription du Cagui, eft Jaq . Par- 
fons, DoBeur en Medicine, et Membre de la 
Societe Roy ale : il eft entre dam un ft grand 
detail fur cet animal, et /’ a ft bien decrit %, 
qu il ?n epargne la peine d' en dire bien des 
chofes qu autre ment j aurois pu dire. Mais 
il n avoit pas eu le bonheur de rencontrer un 
fujet aujfi vigoureux et d’un poll aufti epais,
