THE Drill is nearly as strong and powerful as the 

 Mandril, and has a similar form. The colours of 

 the adult are also nearly alike, generally of a duller 

 hue ; but the principal distinguishing character is the 

 absence of the ridges upon the muzzle, and of bright 

 colouring except the border of the upper lip, which, 

 by Fred. Cuvier, is represented of a bright red. 

 The under parts are also white. The female 

 differs in a less size and duller colouring, and by the 

 head being of a shorter proportion. The native 

 country seems somewhat uncertain, but it most pro- 

 bably is also Africa. 



With these animals, the forms of the Old World 

 terminate ; and we now commence the second great 

 geographical division of the quadrumanae.
