Ceylon (Sri Lanka): various species of indigenous monkeys. Etching.

"The monkies in this island are innumerable, and of many different species; some of which do not resemble any that are to be found in other countries. One sort have grey hairs, with black visages, and a white beard from ear to ear, which makes them appear at a distance like old men ; another sort are of the same size, but of an amazing whiteness. They refide in the woods, but often make excursions, and do a great deal of mischief, digging the dead bodies out of the ground to feed upon them."--Middleton, loc. cit. (p. 227)
