T H E right honourable the Lord 
Kingfton, of Queen’s- fquare, per- 
mitted me to take a drawing and this defcription of 
the little monkey, which you and the reverend Dr. 
Stukeley law a few days ago. Its particular charac- 
ters, join'd to its very 1'mall lize, induced me to think 
it a fubjedt worthy the notice of the Royal Society; 
efpecially too as there is yet no good figure of it ex- 
hibited. 
It is, from the tip of the nofe to the root of the 
tail upon the edge of the fpine, but feven inches and 
an half ; and the tail, from its root to the extremity, 
is nine inches ; its face about an inch long ; and 
hardly three quarters of an inch broad at the eyes, 
where it is broadeft. Its utmoft weight is about four 
ounces and an half averdupoife. 
The face is naked, and of a flelh-colour ; the eyes 
black, having no white part vifible ; the ears are thin, 
large in proportion, and of a dark colour ; and are 
furrounded each with a grove of very white hairs ; 
between which the hairs of the neck are blackifh, 
and fo are the four extremities : the reft of the body 
and tail is a mixture of dulky and yellow, fo as to 
compofe a dark olive; the hairs of the body are 
4 exceedingly
