43. There are three divisions of this sub-class ordina- 
rily recognized: the Simiadz, or monkey tribe of the 
Old World; the Cebidee, or monkey tribe of the New 
World; and the Lemuride, which are found chiefly in 
the island of Madagascar, and to some extent in Africa 
and India. All these animals are inhabitants of tropical 
climates, and live chiefiy on fruits, in getting which from 
trees most of them show greater agility than any other 
animals. They are disposed to gather in troops, a tree 
sometimes having nearly a hundred monkeys in its 
branches. 
44, The Simiade are classed in three divisions: the 
apes, which have no tails; the baboons, that have very 
short ones; and the monkeys, that have long ones. I 
will notice some of the prominent species of each.

oons, and bats, as the different families of the order, the second order 
being Fer, or wild beasts. Such a classification is not merely incor- 
"rect, but ridiculous.
