S 3 8 The Hijiory of ANIMALS. 
writers on quadrupeds feem to have been acquainted with it, but their accounts of 
r 6 [ al *P ecies of tilis ^rge genus are fo very confufed, that it is hard to afcertain 
the abiolute fpecies, which they have meant, under any of them. 
Simla fubflavefcem peclore albente , cauda jloccofa. 
The yellowifh Simla , with a whitifh breafl } and a woolly tail. 
This is fmaller than any of the former, but more beautiful than either of them 
when ered, it meafures very little more than two feet in height: the head is fmall" 
oblong, and flatted; the eyes are large, and very piercing j the nofe is lefs depreffed 
than in mod of the others; the nodrils are elevated and open j the ears are low and 
not fo broad as in many of the other fpecies: the legs are long and {lender; the tail is 
long, and covered with a thick, woolly down, efpecially on it’s lower part: the back 
and Tides are of a brown colour, with a very confiderable tinge of yellow j the back 
part of the head and neck are dill more yellow : the bread is white, as* is alfo the 
throat, and the naked part of the face is of a dufky dun colour. 
This is frequent in South America, as alfo in many parts of Africa, and the Eaft 
Indies ; but, though feen in confiderable plenty in the woods, it is fo light, fo nimble, 
and fo fhy, that it is rarely taken: when caught, it is eafiy familiarifed, and becomes 
very tradable. 
Simla caudata naribus bifidis. 
The long-tailed Simia , with bifid ?ioflrils. 
This is a larger fpecies than the preceding, when ered, as it frequently dands in 
it’s wild date, it is two feet and a half high : the head is long but flender, and not 
much depreffed : the forehead is oval ; the eyes are prominent and grey 5 the nofe is 
depreffed toward it’s bafe, but it turns up at the extremity, and the nodrils are elate 
and bifid : the ears are low, and confiderably broad j the teeth are large and fharp ; 
the body is not thick, and the legs are proportionately fmall; the feet are formed very 
like the human hand j the tail is long and fmall; the back is of a deep olive-brown^ 
there are no whifkers or beard about the mouth; the belly is tawny, but the bread is 
of the fame olive colour, with the fides only paler. 
This is a native of the Brafils. Marcgrave and Pifo have defcribed it, and from 
them others. 
Simia caudata collo peEloreque jubatis. 
The tailed Simia 3 with a mane on the neck and breafl. 
This is an extreamly Angular fpecies: the head looks fmall, in proportion to the 
body j but that is rather owing to the bu£hy mane which is under it, than to any real 
deficiency in fize: the forehead is depreffed 3 the eyes are large and prominent 5 the 
nofe is fhort and broken, and the tip of it turns up j the nodrils are very wide, and of 
a rounded figure: the ears are fhort, broad, and woolly. The creature, when it 
dands ered, is about two feet four inches in height 5 the legs are flender; the feet 
formed perfectly like hands: the body is covered with a moderately Jeep fur of a 
gloffy brown, but the neck and bread are ornamented with a very deep hairinefs, in 
manner of a mane. 
This is a native of South America. Marcgrave has defcribed it.
