hands are purple 5 its body black ; and its tail, 
which is much longer than the body, is terminal 
ted with a dirty white tuft. It is a native of 
Ceylon, is very harmless, lives in the woods^ and 
feeds on the leaves and buds of trees. When 
taken it soon becomes tame. There is a variety 
of it entirely white ; but in form exactly like the 
others. 
These are much scarcer, and more dangerous 
than the black ones

This monkey has a triangular black face, bor^ 
dered all round with white hairs ; which, on the 
chin, are divided into a long forked beard ; its 
back is of a dusky colour ; its head, its sides, and 
the outsides of its arms and thighs the same; but 
each hair is tipped with white ; the breast, the 
belly, and the limbs, are white in those which are 
shewn in Europe, but, in their native , country, of 
an orange colour, for they fade in colder climates ; 
its tail and body are each about a foot and a 
half long. In Guinea, its native country, it is very 
full of frolic ; fond of the persons it is acquaint^ 
with, but averse to others.
