In Oxford-Road, near Soho-Squate,, I:
lately (A. D. 176 i.) faw, at a houfe where
they Ihew wild beafis, &c. a Black Monkey
fomething like the above-defcribed :- they
called him a Spider Monkey, from his
thinnefs and the length of his limbs. and
tail his face was of a flefh-colour; he
held faft by his tail by twifling it round any
thing. His great fingularity, and what I
never obferved before, was, that the hands
had four fingers only, the thumbs being
wanting. There was at the fame place
another long-limnbed four-finger'dMonkey,
in all refpedfs like the former, except that
the hair was brown. I was willing. to make
this memorandum, becaufe this genus of
Monkey had, not been before discovered

ford, pres du guarre' de Soho, je vis d'une
mayon oui l'on montroit des animauxfauvages,
un Singe noir a//z femblable a celui dont
je viens de donner la defcription: ils 1'appel-

et de fes membresfirt longs etfirt menus.
La face etoit couleur de chair: il s'atta-
choitfortement par la queue en Ia tournant
autour de tout ce qu'il attraproit.  Ce qu'il
avoit defortparticulier, et que je n'ai jamais
remarque auparavant,. c'ef, qu'il n'avoit
que quatre doigts aux mains, fans pouces.
II y avoit au rneme endroit un autre Singe
a lsngs membres, et n'ayant que quatre
doigts, a' tous egards au refte coimme lepre-
cedent, excepte' que le poil etoit brun.  j'ai
juge a propos defaire cette remarque, par-,

inclination pour certaines perfinnes, et une
violente averfion pour d'autres; et ce/a co. -
