This is an obscure species, said to come from 
the Philippine islands ; its mouth and eye-brows 
are *beset with long hairs. 
Fox-tailed monkey. 
This species, which inhabits Guiana, is about a 
foot and a half in length, from nose to tail ; its 
tail is as long, and like that of a fox ; its face is 
black, covered with a short white down ; its fore- 
head, and the sides of its face, are covered with 
belly, and the lower part of the limbs, are of a 
reddish white, 
Tamarin, or great-eared monkey. 
This is a beautiful animal, very lively, and 
easily tamed, but so delicate, that it cannot long 
resist the inclemency of our climate. It inhabits 
the hotter parts of South America, and the isle 
of Gorgona in the South Sea, south of Panama. 
It has a round head, a flesh coloured, naked 
face ; the upper lip a little divided ; ears erect, 
very large, and almost square ; the hair on the 
forehead upright and long ; that on the body soft, 
but shaggy ; the head, body, and limbs black, 
except the lower part of the back, which is tinged 
with red ; its hands and feet are covered with 
orange-coloured hair, very fine and smooth ; its 
nails are long and crooked ; its teeth very white ; 
it is of the size of a squirrel ; the tail is black, 
and twice the length of the body. Its face is 
sometimes black instead of flesh colour,
