64 MAMMALIA. 



black; face and scrotum tawny.(l) The Migrette, Sim. aygula, 

 Lin., Buff. XIV, 21, appears to be a mere variety of this one, 

 differing by a longer tuft of hair on the top of the head. 

 Some of the Macaques are distinguished by a short tail.

 ib. pi. 4, and Buff. Supp. XIV, pi. 16 j the first baboon figured 

 by Buff. XIV, pi. 19.(2) (The Pig-tailed Baboon.) Greyish; 

 a fawn-coloured tinge on the head and crupper, sometimes on 

 the back ; face flesh-colour ; tail reaching below the hamstrings. 

 From Bengal. (3) 



Sim. menesirimcs, L. ; Sim. plaiypigos, Schreb.; Audeb. fam. 

 ii, sect. 1, pi. 2.; Fr. Cuv. Mammif. under the name of Singe 

 a queue de cochon. (The Brown Baboon.) Deep brown above j 

 black band beginning on the head, and fading as it extends 

 along the back ; yellowish round the head and limbs ; tail thin 

 and wrinkled. (4) 



Inuus, Cuv. 



Mere Macaques, which have a small tubercle in lieu of a tail. 

 S. silvanus,pithecus and inuus, Lin.; Buff. XIV, 7, 8 ; Fr. 

 Cuv. Mammif. (The Barbary Ape.) Completely covered 

 with a light grey-brown hair, and of all monkeys, is the one 

 that suffers least from our climate. He is originally from 

 Barbary, but is said to have become naturalised in the most 

 inaccessible parts of the rock of Gibraltar,(5) 



Cynocephalus, C.(6) 



The Dog-headed Monkeys, together with the teeth, cheek- 

 pouches and callosities of the Inuus, Cuv., have an elongated muz- 



(1) Add the Black-faced Macaque, Fr. Cuv. Mammif. 28, and the other species 

 described in the same work. 



(2) The two specimens used by Audebert are still in the Museum- I have ex- 

 amined them and find they are both of one species. 



(3) The Macaque a queue courte of Buff. Supp. VII, pi. 13, {Sim. erytrhsea, Schr.) 

 appears to me to be a true Macaque [S. cynomolgus), whose tail had been ampu- 

 tated. 



(4) Add the Macaque de I'Inde, and the Macaque a face rouge, Fr. Cuv. Mammif. 



(5) The Pitheque of Buff. Supp. VII, pi. 4 and 5, was a young- Magot. His Little 

 Cynocephalus, ib. pi- 6, and the Greatand Little Cynocephala of Prosper Alpin are 

 also of that species. n/SK0? is the Greek term for monkeyS in general, and the 

 one whose anatomy has been given by Galen was a Magot, although Camper 

 thought it was an Ourang-Outang. M. de Blainville perceived this mistake, and 

 I have proved it by comparing with these two species, all that Galen has stated 

 respecting the anatomy of his pithecus-
