THE WANDEEOW. 



This animal is rather less than the former, with a 

 prominent muzzle like the rest of the kind ; but what 

 peculiarly distinguishes the wanderow, is the long 

 white hair which - surrounds the head, and immense 

 beard of the same colour, which descends from the 

 chin : the rest of the body is either brown or black ; 

 and it is both fierce and untractable in its natural 

 state. 



THE MAIMONi 



The maimon approaches the monkey in 9ize, as it 

 seldom exceeds that of a cat: its chief distinction, be- 

 sides the prominent muzzle, is in the tail, which is 

 between five and six inches long, and curled up like 

 that of a hog : it is a native of Sumatra, and does not 

 well endure the rigours of our clime. Edwards, the 

 naturalist, had one some time in his possession ; and 

 another arrived in London during that time J" and, upon 

 introducing the two animals to each other's acquaint- 

 ance, it was interesting to behold the excess of their 

 joy ; they met like two friends that had long been sepa- 

 rated, and scarcely knew how to testify their delight. 



THE MONKEY* 



The varieties of the larger kind of monkey are but 

 few ; but, amongst the smaller, the distinctions are so 

 abundant that it would be impossible in this Work to 

 enumerate the whole tribe. There is scarce a county 

 in the tropical climates that does not swarm with these 

 animals, or a forest that does not teem with different 

 creatures of this race. 



The ferocity of this animal's nature seems gradually
