SAKI

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 54 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAC-SAR
SAKI , the native name of a group of tropical American monkeys nearly allied to those known as uakaris (see
UAKARI
 ), with which they agree in the forward inclination of the lower incisor teeth, the depth of the hinder
part
  of the lower jaw, and the non-prehensile tail. The sakis, -which form the genus Pithecia, are specially characterized by their
long
  and generally bushy tails, distinct whiskers and
beard
 , and the usually elongated
hair
  on the crown of the head, which may either radiate from a point in the centre, or be divided by a median parting. They are very delicate animals, difficult to keep in confinement, and in that state exhibiting a gentle disposition, and being normally silent (see PRIMATES).
SAKURA-JIMA, a Japanese
island
 ,
oval
  in shape and measuring 7 m.by 5 m., lying in the northern
part
  of the Bay of Kagoshima (31 4o' N., 13o 35' E.). It has a
volcano
  3743 ft. high (of which an eruption was recorded in 1779), and is celebrated for its hot springs, its oranges and its giant radishes (daikon), which some-times weigh as much as 70 lb.
