The Anatomy of a TYG MI E. 7 



" comparari poteft. The Cepus therefore of FUny^ Strah, Dwdorus 

 Sicnltis, and Mliaft, in all probability muft be different from the CebHs 

 of Anjiotk. Job. Cains our Country-man fent Gefner a Defcription of 

 a MamoKtet or Marmofet he had obferved, which Gefner thinks might be 

 a fort of Cepns 5 but the Colours were different, as likewife the Magni- 

 tude. 



(c) Arift. The CynocQ^hzYi have the fame Jljape voith Monkeys, ha thej 

 are bigger, and Uronger, and. they have a Face Uker a Dogs, and are of 

 a fiercer Nature, and they have Teeth Uker a Dogs^ and Jironger. 



I flhall have occafion to Difcourfe of thefe Cynocephali in the enfuing 

 Ejfay. For tho' the Philofopher makes them only a fort of Ape or Mon- 

 key, yet there have been thofe, that would impofe them on the World 

 for a Race of Men-^ and by (10) JElian they are call'd a.v'^oooivQi tvuva- 

 -Tr^oozyTTOi 5 tho' (11) G^/eTz tells us, they are much lefs like a M^/^, than 

 an Ape is: For they can fcarce ftand upright, much lefs walk or run fo. 

 (12) Philojiorghis mentions the AegopUheais, theAr&opHhecus, t\\e Leon- 

 topUhecus, as well as the Cynocephalus^ and then adds, xai aMai? iroT^Sv 

 ^cDMv d^auj^ rK "Tn^yiKifct^ /nuo^pig '^^jMyvvjiAivyiz. That there is the Goat- 

 Ape, the Bear-Ape^ the Lion-Ape, the Dog-Ape 5 and that the Ape-kind 

 have a refemblance to a great many other Animals ; fo large and nume- 

 rous is this Cla(fis of Animals, that perhaps there is none that is more 5 

 and that are fo different from one another. The fiercenefs of the Cyno- 

 cephali is taken notice of by all ^ our Pygme was quite of another 

 temper, the moft gentle and loving Creature that could be. Thofe that 

 he knew a Ship-board he would come and embrace with the greateft ten- 

 dernefs, opening their Bofoms, and clafping his Hands about them ^ and 

 as I was informed, tho' there were Monkeys aboard, yet 'twas obferved he 

 would never alTociate with them, and as if nothing a-kin to them, would 

 always avoid their Company. The Teeth of the Cynocephali are like a 

 Dog's -J thofe of our Fygmie exactly refembled a Mans, as I ftiall fhew 

 in the Ofleology. 



(d) Arifl:. Apes are hairy on their Backj, as they are ^tadrupeds, and 

 en their Bellies, as they are like Men : For in a Man and a Beafi this 

 hairinefs is quite contrary, as was faid before. So that Apes are very hairy 

 in both Places, their Hair being jirong or courfe, and thick, fet. 



The Place th^t Arijiotle refers to, is this. (13) '^E?'i S%r^^ /j2v aMcoy 



flTfoy. ^ a.vQpooirog vwvdvriov. i. e. That in Brutes the Back, or upper Parts 

 are more hairy ^ the Belly or under Parts either fmooth or lefs hairy : In a 

 Man is obferved the contrary. But in our Pygmie we obferved it diffe- 

 rent 5 for here all behind from the Head downwards, 'twas very hairy, 

 and the Hair fo thick, that it covered the Skin almoft fro m being feen.
