24 MamMatLia OF INDIA. 
PAPIONIN. 
_ This sub-family comprises the true baboons of Africa and the monkey- 
like baboons of India. They have the stomach simple, and cheek- 
pouches are always present. According to Cuvier they possess, like 
the last family, a fifth tubercle on their last molars. They produce 
early, but are not completely adult for four or five years ; the period of 
gestation is seven months. 
The third sub-family of Simiade@ consists of the genera Cercopithicus, 
Macacus, and Cynocephalus, as generally accepted by modern zoologists, 
but Jerdon seems to have followed Ogilby in his classification, which 
merges the long-tailed Macaques into Cercopithecus, and substituting 
fapio for the others. 
GENUS INUUS. 
Cuvier applies this term to the Magots or rudimentary-tailed 
Macaques. The monkeys of this genus are more compactly built than 
those of the last. ‘They are also less herbivorous in their diet, eating 
frogs, lizards, crabs and insects, as well as vegetables and fruit. Their 
callosities and cheek-pouches are 
large, and they have a sac which 
communicates with the larynx 
under the thyroid cartilage, which 
fills with air when they cry out. 
Some naturalists of the day, 
however, place all under the 
generic name Macacus.
