A TRAPPED MONKEY. 207 
The next day Querlaouen and I, when visiting mon- 
key traps, found that a beautiful ndova had been caught. 
He was hanging high in the air quite dead, but the body 
still warm. It had just been trapped. 
These ndovas are most beautiful monkeys, being 
among the prettiest I have ever seen. This was very 
large, and such a fat one! The face of Querlaouen 
grinned with joy at the thought of the splendid feast he 
was to have on our return. The fur is splendid. 
These ndovas are very abundant in the forests of 
Africa, and the hair is of a beautiful dark color. 
The great peculiarity of the animal is his perfectly 
white nose. How strange they look while peeping at 
you in the forest with that strange white spot! They 
are called by naturalists white-nosed monkeys.
