has prominent calloflties on the buttocks. The Count de Buffon thinks that there are feveral varie- 

 ties of this fpecies, though he has only defcribed one. 



10 6. Hog- faced Ape. — Simla Su'illa. 



■ 



Has a blunt truncated nofe, exactly refembling that of a hog. Penn. H. of Q^p. 172^ 

 pi. XX. fig. 1. 



The engraving of this animal, given by Mr Pennant, is from a copy of a drawing in the Britilh 

 Mufeum, but along with which there is no account to enable us to trace its.hiftory. Mr Pennant 

 fuppofes it may be the ^a/goB-ifes?, or Simia porcaria of Ariftotle; as, at any rate, in his opinion, that 

 animal muft be an ape, and not a baboon, according to the Count de Buftbn's idea ; becaufe the 

 mi-van, or apes of Ariftotle, had no tails, and the baboons have. — So far as I can pretend to judge 

 of Mr Pennant's figure, it feems a bad reprefentation of the Mandril, or Simia maimon, though, from 

 refpect to the authority of that great naturalift, it is here inferted as a diftinct fpecies of ape. — T.
