hands. “He then tried to pull off my 
rings, when I gave him some biscuits, 
and making a bed for him with my hand- 
kerchief he then settled himself comfort- 
ably to sleep; and from that moment we 
were sworn allies. When mischievous, 
he was often banished to a hen-coop. 
Much more effect was produced by taking 
him in sight of the panther, who always 
seemed most willing to devour him. On 
these occasions I held him by the tail 
before the cage ; but long before I reached 
it, knowing where he was going, he pre- 
tended to be dead. His eyes were closed 
quite fast, and every limb was as stiff as 
though there were no life in him. When 
taken away, he would open one eye a 
little, to see whereabouts he might be; 
but if he caught sight of the panther’s 
cage it was instantly closed, and he be- 
came as stiff as before.’ This monkey 
stole the men’s knives, tools, and hand- 
kerchiefs, and even their caps, which he 
threw into the sea. He would carefully 
feed the parrots, chewing up biscuit and 
presenting them the bits; and he caught 
another small monkey and painted it 
black! Altogether, he must have enliv-

THE Macaques 
The Macaques, of which there are many kinds, from the Rock of Gibraltar to far Japan, 
occupy the catalogue between the guenon and the baboon. The Common Macaque and many 
others have tails. Those of Japan, and some of those of China, notably the TcHELr Monkey, 
kept outside the monkey-house at the Zoo, and the JapANESE Macagug, at the other entrance, are 
tailless, and much more like anthropoid apes. The Tcheli monkey is large and powerful, but 
other macaques are of all sizes down to little creatures no bigger thana kitten. Some live in the 
hottest plains, others in the mountains. The Common Macagug, found in the Malay Archi- 
pelago, is a strong, medium-sized monkey. The Formosan Macaque is a rock-living creature ; 
those of Japan inhabit the pine-groves, and are fond of pelting any one who passes with stones 
and fir-cones. The BONNET MACAQUE is an amusing little beast, very fond of hugging and 
nursing others in captivity. The BANDAR or RHESUS MONKEY, acommon species, also belongs 
tothis group. Butthe most interesting to Europeans is the MAGOT, or BARBARY APE, It isthe 
last monkey left in Europe. There it only lives on the Rock of Gibraltar. It was the monkey 
which Galen is said to have dissected, because he was not permitted to dissect a human body. 
These monkeys are carefully preserved upon the Rock. Formerly, when they were more com-
