SQUIRREL MONKEY

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 748 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SOU-STE
SQUIRREL MONKEY , the
English
  name of a small
golden
 -haired
South
  American
monkey
 , commonly known as Chrysothrix sciurea, and also applied to the two other members of the same genus, whose collective range extends from Costa Rica to
Bolivia
  and Brazil. It has, however, been proposed to
transfer
  the name Chrysothrix to the marmosets of the genus Hapale, to which it is stated to have been originally applied, and to replace it by Saimiris. The squirrel-monkeys were formerly classed with the douroucoulis (see DouRoucouLl), but, on
account
  of their brain-structure, they have been transferred to the Cebinae (see CAPUCHIN-
MONKEY
 ), from the other members of which they differ by their practically non-prehensile tails and smaller size, while they are further distinguished by their comparatively large eyes and the backward prolongation of the hinder
part
  of the head. They are exceedingly
pretty
  little monkeys. (See PRIMATES.) (R. L.*)
