rather sharp, a face of a tawny flesh colour, with 
a few black hairs, having eyes of a reddish hazel ; 
the hair above the eyes long', uniting with the 
eye-brows ; that on the temples partly covering 
the ears ; its breast and belly of a swarthy flesh 
colour, almost naked ; the hair on the back, 
limbs, and tail, black, and pretty long ; its paws 
are covered with a black soft skin, and its tail is 
longer than the body. It is about the size of a 
large cat ; is active, lively, entertaining, and good- 
natured. It is found in Guinea. 
EGRET. 
This creature has a long face, and an upright 
sharp-pointed tuft of hair on the top of its head ; 
the hair on its forehead is black ; the upper part 
of the body is of an olive, the lower of an ash 
colour ; its eye-brows are large ; its beard small ; 
and it is itself of the size of a small cat. Monkies 
of this species are found in Java. They are said 
to fawn on men and their own species, and em- 
brace each other ; and to play with dogs, if they 
have none of their own species with them. If 
they see a monkey of another species, they greet 
him with a thousand grimaces. When a number 
of them go to sleep, they put their heads together. 
They make a continual noise during the night* 
Mona, or monea. 
This species is called by the Malays monea ; 
it is distinguished by a high, upright, rusty tuft.
