Updated: June 24, 2025

The general colour of the animal is brownish-tawny, but the tail is elegantly barred with black. I was surprised, on my return to England, to learn from specimens in the British Museum, that the pigmy Marmoset was found also in Mexico no other Amazonian monkey being known to wander far from the great river plain.
