Notes.

N.B.--These descriptions of new species have been kindly supplied by Dr. Forsyth Major from his MSS., and I am much indebted to him for allowing them to be first published in the present work.

N.B.--The white feet should have been more pronounced in the plate.

Vide anteà, p. 145.

"Red-footed Night-Monkey," on plate.

See the figures in Flower and Lydekker, Mammals, p. 711.

This curious custom, of women suckling animals, was also observed by the present writer in New Guinea, where the native women suckle puppies and young pigs.

Humboldt and Stedman both state that these Monkeys threw pieces of branches towards them.
