They are long (esjiecially the lower ones), narrow, and are curved outwards, and they stick out forwards from the jaw in the genus Hapale. Those of the Tamarius are short and broad, the lower ones being stuck out and close together. The lower canine teeth of the Hapale, or Ouistitis, are very small, and those of the other genus are larger. The face of the Mannoset is short, and the broad division between the nostrils, wliich open widely apart and outwards, is very evident. Very remarkable are the feet, for in these Monkeys the toe-thumb is not widely separated from the other digits, but is close to and parallel with them, so that they resemble the human foot more than the human hand. The insectivorous and carnivorous jM-opensities of these little creatures are shown in the form of their nails, which are claws. They are curved, compressed from side to side, and sharp, except that of the great toe, which is broad. In the hand the thumb is not capable of being separated widely from the other fingers, and it has a sharp claw on it, so the resem- blance to a true hand is small, and the likeness to a " paw" is gi-eat; and to conclude this part of the subject, the soles are much longer than the toes. Hence, -with paws and long feet with claws, these little creatures, which have been termed Hapale—from lma.>M (soft, gentle)—are not unlike Bears in their extremities, and have been called Bear-Monkeys, or Arctopkhecini. The intelligence of these Monkeys is certainly not very great, hence the ex- amination of their brain is sure to be interesting, for one would expect that it could not be like that of the intelligent Cebus, or even that of the Spider Monkey. The mouth appears to be large, and it really has a wide gape. Fu-st, then, the skull is remarkable for the rela- tive size of the bram-c
