proboscis monkey, long-nosed monkey (Nasalis larvatus)

LONG-NOSED MONKEYS. — These grotesque looking Monkeys are natives of Borneo, and are sometimes called the Proboscis Monkeys, the organ
from which this name is derived. being large and long and movable in every direction. This illustration is taken from life and shows them as they appear in the
zoological gardens in Batavia, the Capital of Dutch India, where they thrive as well as in their native forests. In their wild state, troops of these Monkeys
assemble together mornings and evenings, and in this sketch they are apparently following the same custom. (Nasalis larertus.)
