Most of them are Spider Monkeys". (I am assuming that you mean the little tiny guys that often wear little vests and sometimes those Turkish "shriner" like hats.) They used to be with all the Organ Grinders who would keep them on a little leash and they would hop off his shoulder and go around and collect money in their little hats ,

ADDITION: Oh my goodness the next answer is the right one! They ARE Cappuchin monkeys NOT spider monkeys. Never Mind!

I'm 87% percent sure they are capuchin monkeys.
