MARMOSETS. 
197 
The present species is restricted to Colombia, and has been long known in 
Europe; it received its name of Pinche—on what grounds we know not—from the 
French naturalist Buffon. It is represented in our illustration on p. 194, and is of a 
greyish-brown colour on the back ; the outer surface of the limbs and the root of 
the tail being tinged with red, while the long tuft of hair which forms a crest on 
silky marmosets nat. size). 
the top of the head, as well as the throat, under-parts, arms, and the front of the 
legs, are white; the tip of the tail being black. 
Geoffroy’s marmoset (31. geofroyi), which is the representative of the Pinche 
in Panama, is distinguished from that species by the hair on the crown of the 
head not being elongated into a crest, but being short, and forming a narrow 
patch of an oblong shape. Its coloration is very nearly the same as that of 
the Pinche, with the exception that the hair on the nape of the neck is chestnut- 
coloured.
