SPIDER, OWL AND SQUIRREL MONKEYS 15 It has a wrinkled and care-worn face, as if bur- dened with sorrows—which most captive mon- keys certainly are! Its forehead, throat and shoulder-points are white, and the remainder of the body is either gray, brown or jet black. The Sapajous inhabit Central America and northern South America. About two hundred specimens are brought to New York every year.. BLACK-FACED SPIDER MONKEY. Al'e-les a'ter. where they are sold by dealers at prices ranging from $10 to $15 each. The Spider Monkeys' may easily be recog- nized by their very long, slender legs and tails, and small, round heads. In color they are usu- ally either black or gray, and rarely reddish brown. As they swing on their way through life, always using their prehensile tails to cling or to swing by, they have a very uncanny look, and it is no wonder that they are called "Spider" monkeys. They can come as near tying them- selves into knots as living mammals ever can. ^ At'e-les. When fully grown, they are much larger than the sapajous, but are weak, unable to fight, and therefore timid. In a cage containing several species of monkeys, they are always the greatest cowards, and often are heard shrieking from fright at imaginary terrors. They are dainty feeders, and very difficult to keep in health in captivity. Four species are found north of Panama. The Mexican Spider Monltey oc- curs up to Lat. 23°, and is the most northern monkey on this continent.
