468 HISTORY OF QUADRUPEDS. 



THE CHINESE BONNET MONKEY. 



APPEARS to be only a variety of the Malbrouck : 

 the principal difference consists in its having the 

 hair on its head disposed in the form of a flat bon- 

 net, from which its name has been derived. It 

 inhabits the same country, and lives in the same 

 manner. 



When fruits and succulent plants fail, these ani- 

 mals are said to eat insects, and sometimes watch 

 by the seaside for Crabs and other shell-fish, which 

 they are very dexterous in catching. 



They are never thoroughly tamed, and cannot be 

 trusted without a chain. They do not breed when 

 in a state of confinement, even in their own coun- 

 try; but require to be at perfect freedom in their 

 native woods. 



THE MANGABEY. 



(Siuiin sEf/nops, Linn. 



Is distinguished from all other Monkies by a 

 very remarkable character. Its eye-lids are naked, 

 of a pure white colour: and round each eye there is 

 a prominent ring: the hair on the head and body 

 is of a yellowish brown colour; that on the belly 

 white. Some of them have a broad collar of white 

 hair surrounding their neck and face.
