CAPUCHIN, AND WEEPER MONKEY. 5] 
kept warm in a chamber during the winter., they 
live comfortably in Europe for several years. 
They have been known to produce in France. 
They are of the size of a half-grown cat. 
Capuchin monkey, or sai. 
On the toes of this species there are crooked 
claws, not flat nails, as on those of the former ; 
but in every other particular, the two are so much 
alike, that this circumstance seems to be the chief 
difference between them. 
Weeper monkey. 
This monkey smells of musk, is of a melancholy 
disposition, makes a plaintive noise, and appears 
as if always weeping ; yet he is much disposed to 
imitate whatever he sees done ; his face is round 
and flat, of a reddish brown colour ; on the upper 
part of his head and body, his hair, w hich is very 
long and thinly dispersed, is black, tinged with 
brown ; beneath, and on the limbs, it is tinged 
with red ; the tail is black, and much longer than 
the head and body, which exceed not fourteen 
inches ; he has a flat nail on each toe. Both old 
and young of this species appear to be deformed. 
They inhabit Surinam and Brasil. 
They keep in large companies, and make a 
great chattering, especially in stormy weather, and 
reside much on a species of tree which bears a 
podded fruit on which they feed. They are mild, 
docile, and timid. 
Buffon mentions a variety with a white throat. 
The three last species are very nearly allied, and fre- 
quently confounded by describing.
