. Mammals of other lands;. Mammals. 24- THE LIVING ANIMALS OF THE WORLD. Photo by â ichoiastic Photo. Co, '] _Panon''s Green PATAS MONKEY Found in ff^est Africa. A large and brilliantly coloured sfeciei rare and delicate monkeys from America, which cannot stand the draughts of the outer house, Hke the Capuchins and spider monkeys. The greater number of these come from tropical- America. There, in the mighty forests, so lofty that no man can climb the trees, so dense that there is a kind of upper story on the interlaced tree-tops, where nearly all the birds and many mammals live without descending to earth, forests in which there is neither summer nor winter, but only the changes from hour to hour of the equatorial day, the exquisite Marmosets, whose fur looks like the plumage and whose twittering voices imitate the notes of birds, live and have their being. They are all much alike in shape, except that the Lion Marmoset's mane is like that of a little lion clad in floss silk ; and they all have sharp little claws, and feed on insects. The Pinche Marmoset from the Guiana forests has a face like a black Indian chief, with white plumes over his head and neck like those worn by a " brave" in full war-paint. Merchants who do business with Brazil very frequently import marmosets and the closely allied tamarins as presents for friends at home in England; the Brazilians themselves like to have them as pets also; so there is to some extent a trade demand for them. Among the most delicate of American monkeys are the OuKARis, which have somewhat human faces, exquisite soft fur, and are as gentle as most of these forest creatures. They seldom live long in captivity, a few months being as much as they will generally endure, even in Brazil. Perhaps the rarest of all is the white-haired Scarlet-faced Oukari. This monkey has long white hair from neck to tail, sandy whiskers, and a bright scarlet face. It lives in a district of partly flooded forest, and is only obtained
