Note 70 — THE NOCTURNAL LIFE OF ANIMALS IN THE PRIMEVAL FOREST.
Henry G. (Henry George) Bohn translation
p. 199.—“The striped nocturnal monkey.”
This is the Douroucouli or Cusi-cusi of the Cassiquiare which I have elsewhere described as the Simia trivirgata,[IM] from a drawing made by myself of the living animal. We have since seen the nocturnal monkey living in the menagerie of the Jardin des Plantes at Paris.[IN] Spix also met with this remarkable little animal on the Amazon River and called it Nyctipithecus vociferans.
