34 LEONINE MONKEY. 



To the Baboons succeed the Monkies, properly 

 so called: they have commonly a pair of pouches 

 in the lower jaw, for the temporary reception of 

 their food ; a circumstance which occurs also in 

 some of the Baboons. Their tails are long, and, 

 in most species, a bare or callous space appears on 

 each side the tail.

Tins species was described from the living ani- 

 mal in the possession of the Due de Bouillon; and 

 was in the Royal Menagerie at Versailles, in the 

 year 1775. Its length was two feet, from nose 

 to tail, and it was eighteen inches high when 

 standing on all-fours. The legs were Ions; in 

 proportion to the body: the face naked and quite 

 black: the whole body and limbs of the same co- 

 lour; the hair, though long, appearing short, on 

 account of its lying smooth : around the face, ac- 

 cording to Buffon's figure, is a fine long chevelure 

 of grey-brown hair, and a large beard of fair grey.
