GREEN MONKEYS. The artist has put life and action into the above picture, which shows a troop of Green Monkeys fleeing from a field of gram they have been robbing, a species of thievery of which these monkeys are very fond. The knave in the foreground has an ear of corn in his left foot as well as in his left hand, and while making rapid progress is tenaciously holding on to his booty. Just behind him a mother is reaching out for her young one ; and on the fence an old male stands guard, while the other members of the troop are escaping for their lives. The Green Monkeys are natives of Senegal and jealously protect their territory from other monkeys. Some of this family are said to have been brought over to the Island of St. Kitts, where they thrive, being the only Old World Monkeys living in a wild state in America. They are also sometimes called Beautiful Haired Monkeys, because of the delicate marking ot each separate hair of their fur. The under portion of the body and limbs is nearly white, the outer part ot the limbs is of a grayish shading, while the hair on the side of the face is a golden yellow. Many Green Monkeys have been taken to Europe and brought to the United States. (Cercopitkecus sabaeus.)
