fhort and well-fet ; and appears to have either no Tail at all ; 

 or elfe a very Ihort one. 

 Thec*iN- To this Clafs we mayjoyn the c<i>iNriA, the fame Gramma- 

 tical Name with 2^/7^5 '. Thefe have been commonly num- 

 bered amongft the imaginary Beings, but appear here to be 

 Cercopitheci ; a Species of Monkeys, as fome ancient Authors * 

 have defcribed them. The Prominence likewife, that is faid 

 to be in their Breafts or Nipples, may perhaps be authorized 

 from the loweft of them, which has if s Limbs the moll dif- 

 played ; for thofe of the other are folded up and collected to- 

 gether, as that antick Species of Animals is fometimes accu- 

 ftomed to do. 

 Of the Ani- Amons fuch of thefe Animals, whofe Names are either du- 



mals whole <-* r n -r • c- 



Names are^ious or unknown, we may nrft take Notice of the ahfoc ;

unknown, vvhlch, notwithftanduig the Affinity of the Latin'Wo^d y^per, 

 has no Relation at all to the ^o^rKind. If the Spots are ex- 

 cepted, it agrees in Shape, Habit of Body, and all other Cir- 

 cumftances, with the kpokotac. If we had any Authority 

 therefore, from the Pavement itfelf, to exchange this unknown 

 Word, as I prefume it is, for apktoc ; the Figure will anfwer, 



or APKTOC. with Propriety enough, to the Bear \ one of the noted Ani- 

 mals of this Country. 



TheTABOTc The TAEorc is another unknown Name. The large Qua- 



ot Camel, ^jj-ypgcl, to which it bclongs, has the exafl: Shape and Habit 

 of the Camel. The Ears likewife are ere6t, with a large Tuft, 

 of Hair, growing betwixt them; as is common to this, as well 

 as to fome other Creatures. There is a large Bump likewife, 

 which is placed, not indeed upon the Back, as ufual, but upon 

 the Shoulders. Yet, notwithftanding this Miftake, tabotc 

 may, in all Probability, be a derivative from teoc, theBump\ 

 one of the chief Charadlerifticks of the Camel, and from which 

 confequently it might receive this Name.
