ANTIGUA MONKEY, ffiC. 
53 
- Antigua monkey 
Has a short nose,, black face, hair on each side 
long ; back and sides orange and black, intimate- 
ly mixed ; belly white ; outside of the legs black : 
inside ash coloured ; tail of a dusky ash ; its 
length twenty inches ; body eighteen. This seems 
a large species, and is described by Mr. Pennant 
from one which was brought from Antigua ; but 
its real native place was not known. It was a 
lively sportive animal : the tail is strongly pre- 
hensile,, 
LEMUR TRIBE. 
The animals composing the present tribe have 
a considerable resemblance to the monkies in their 
band-like paws, but void of their petulant and 
mischievous disposition. They differ from them 
principally in the shape of the head, which is 
somewhat like that of a fox, and in the length of 
their hind legs. Except in using their paws as 
hands, none of these creatures have any resem- 
blance whatever to mankind. 
The principal Linnean characters of the tribe 
are, four front teeth in the upper jaw, the inter- 
mediate ones remote ; six long, compressed, pa« 
rallel teeth in the under jaw ; the canine teeth 
solitary, and the grinders somewhat lobated. 
There are in the whole at least thirteen species ; 
but it is only of one of these that we have hither**
