. The popular natural history . Zoology. THE DOUROUCOULI. 25 different species. The hair of the female Yarke is decorated near the tip with several rings of a rusty brown colour, while the hair of the male is entirely- devoid of these marks. The natural food of these animals is said to consist chiefly of wild bees and their honeycombs. Perhaps the long furry hair with which the Sakis are covered may be useful for the purpose of defending them from the stings of the angry insects. On account of the full and bushy tail with which the members of this group are furnished, they are popularly classed together under the title of Fox-tailed Monkeys. The term " Nyctipithecus, " or Night-monkey, which is used as the generic title of the Douroucouli, refers to its habits, which are more strictly noctur- nal than those of the animals heretofore mentioned.

The food of this DouroucouU is mostly of an animal nature, and consists chiefly of insects and small birds, which it hunts and captures in the night season. After dark, the Douroucouli awakes from the torpid lethargy in which it has spent the day, and, shaking off its drowsiness, becomes filled with life and spirit. The large dull eyes, that shrank from the dazzling rays of the sun, light up with eager animation at eventide; the listle
