86 POPULAR OFFICIAL GUIDE. 



The Hamadryas Baboon, with long side whiskers and 

 cape of long hair, is one of the handsomest animals of this 

 group. Its explosive, ear-racking cry is almost as startling 

 to visitors as a cannon-shot. 



The Golden Baboon has the liveliest disposition and the 

 best temper possessed by any baboon. Young specimens 

 are full of good-natured mischief, and are much given to 

 hectoring their cage-mates. The Long-Armed Yellow Ba- 

 boon is quite at home in the Primate House, and has bred 

 here. It is a good species to keep in captivity. 



The Group of Old World Monkeys, in addition to the 

 baboons, contains several species worthy of special remark. 

 There are some which have tails so very short and insig- 

 nificant that they seem to be tailless, and several of them 

 are called "apes." They are not true anthropoids (man- 

 like apes), however, and it is a confusing error to designate 

 any of them as "apes." The species referred to are the 

 following : 



The Black "Ape," of Celebes, exceedingly like a true 

 baboon. 



The Magot, or Barbary "Ape," of North Africa and Gib- 

 raltar, which is a true macaque. 



The Japanese Red-Faced Monkey, another macaque, with 

 a brilliant red face, and long, thick coat of hair, which 

 enables it to live out of doors all winter, even in this 

 Zoological Park. 



The Pig-Tailed Monkey, several species of which are 

 found in Burma and other portions of southeastern 

 Asia. 



All the above are on exhibition in the Primate House, 

 and the outdoor cages. 



The Rhesus Monkey, of India, is one of the sacred species, 

 and ages of immunity from molestation, or even wholesome 

 discipline, have made this animal aggressive and domineer- 

 ing in temper. 



The Bonneted Macaque is the best-tempered monkey of all 

 the monkey species found in the East Indies, and it is by 

 far the best to keep as a pet. 



The Entellus Monkey, of India, is also a sacred species, 

 and its natural seriousness of manner, and dignified bearing, 

 quite befit the direct descendants of the original Hunuman, 

 or monkey deity of the Hindoos, who helped to build Adam's 

 Bridge.
