The long fur hangs over its head, half concealing a pleasing diminutive face; the tail to the very tip which is of some length, is also completely covered. There are two more species the Pithecia hirsute and the Pithecia albicans. They are especially capable of attachment to those who treat them kindly.
It is possible that the immense beard of the male Pithecia, and the large beard of the male orang, may protect their throats when fighting; for the keepers in the Zoological Gardens inform me that many monkeys attack each other by the throat; but it is not probable that the beard has been developed for a distinct purpose from that served by the whiskers, moustache, and other tufts of hair on the face; and no one will suppose that these are useful as a protection.
