America, and corresponding to the Semnopitheci of Asia and the Colubi of Africa. They are remarkable for their very long tails, strongly prehensile and callous at the extremity, their very slender limbs, and for their anterior hands having only four fingers. They are generally mild, timid, grave-looking creatures. They live in troops on lofty trees; and by means of their long prehensile tails, which act as a fifth member, they swing themselves from one tree to another with great facility. They are said even to cro rivers in this manner. Mounting to the top of the highest tree on the bank of the stream, they attach themselves to each other in a chain, by their tails. This chain is allowed to swing to and fro till it has obtained sufficient momentum to enable the last of the chain to catch hold of a branch on the opposite side. This done, it ascends to the top of the tree; the other end of the chain is then allowed to swing, and the whole troop is thus pa ed over. A. panisc us, Quata or Coaita monkey, is very common in the woods of Surinam and Brazil; and is very intelligent, active, and gentle. A. Belzebuth , or Marimonda ( Fig. 224), is, on the contrary, very slothful, but of a gentle, timid, and melancholic temperament. Fig . 224. - ATELES BELZEBUTH, OF MARIMONDA.
