THE STRIATED MONKEY. 
1 255. This species, which is one of the prettiest 
I of the Monkey kind, does not exceed twelve inches 
j in length. Its tail is long, and marked with alter- 
jj nate rings of black and ash colour ; the ears are large, 
and of the human form ; and the body of a reddish- 
l| ash colour, slightly undulated with dusky shades. 
256. It is a native of Brazil : it feeds on fruits, 
| vegetables, insects, and snails, and is fond of fish, 
and spiders, and their eggs. It may be rendered 
j very tame, but is a great enemy to cats. 
THE BAT. 
257. At first sight, we should be led to rank the 
Bat among the class of birds. It has, however, 
nothing but its wings that bears resemblance to the 
Describe the Striated Monkey. Where is it found 1 What 
does it feed upon ?
