. The Cambridge natural history. Zoology. 560 DOROUCOULIS that of Mycefefi. ISTevertheless Professor Weldon^ has found in a female of C. ijigot a patch of ossification on the thyroid cartilage of the larynx which may be an indication of something more in the male. There are eleven species. JSfycMpitJiecus, the Doroucouli Monkeys, is a genus of some- what Lemurine appearance, caused by their large eyes. But they reminded Bates of an Owl or a Tiger-cat! They have a long, but not prehensile tail. As in the Marmosets, the lower incisors project forwards in a Lemurine fashion. The thumb is very short. A peculiarity of this genus is the twenty-two dorso- lumbar vertebrae. As in Glory&othrix, but not as in Gallitlirix, the hemispheres of the brain are smooth. There are five species, of which one occurs so far north as Nicaragua; the rest are Brazilian, extending down to the Argentine. The Ouakari Monkeys, Bracliyurusf are, as the name denotes, short-tailed forms. Two species, B. rubicundus and B. Fig. 266.—"Red-facpd Oiiakari. Brndiyitnis rvhicundus. x\ have bright red faces ; B. iiidanoce,j)ludv,s has a black one. There is a small thumb. The brain is fairly convoluted, and is to be specially compared with that of Cehus and Pithecia. The ^ "Notes on Callithrix gigot," Proc. Zool. Hoc. 1884, p. 6. - Forbes, Froo. Zool. Soc. 1880, p.
