~ The second sub-order, ANTHROPOIDEA, includes 
the remaining members of the order Primates, com- 
mencing with the Marmots, through the Monkeys, 
Baboons, and Apes it leads up to Man. 
In the present day with the one exception to be 
mentioned hereafter, no Anthropoids are found in 
Europe or in the Australian region, but are widely 
distributed in the warmer regions both of the Old 
and New World, those inhabiting each of these 
divisions are, however, widely different. Some 
species are mainly terrestrial, but the bulk are 
essentially arboreal; in some the tail is eminently 
prehensile, and practically constitutes a fifth limb, 
and in none is this more conspicuously the case than 
in the South American Spip—ER Monkeys. These 
creatures spend their whole time in the tree tops, 
travelling from bough to bough, a mode of existence 
for which they are pre-eminently fitted. ‘They are 
found in abundance in the forests of Guiana and 
Brazil, and although apparently endowed with all the 
requirements for an active life, are said to be of very 
sluggish habits. The BLACK-HANDED SPIDER MONKEY 
(Afeles geoffroyi) and the RED-FACED SPIDER MONKEY 
(A. paniscus) are good representatives of this long- 
limbed race. 
A very singular New World form is the BLack 
SARKI (fithecia satanas) a native of Brazil, its long 
hair and singularly diabolical appearance render it 
very conspicuous. 
The next family are the Baboons, of which there 
are several species, all confined to Africa; they are 
fierce animals, incapable of being tamed, frequenting 
mountain districts and usually associating in large 
troops. The South African Cuacma (Cynocephalus 
porcarius) is one of the typical Baboons, the structure 
of which it will be observed is. adapted rather for a
