terrestrial life than for climbing. Another species is 
the ANupis BaBoon (C. anubis), a representative of 
the West African group. The BLack APE (Cynopi- 
thecus niger), confined to the Island of Celebes, forms 
a connecting link between the Baboons and the next 
genus AZacacus, of which we have three examples, the 
most noticeable is the celebrated BARTARY APE (// 
inuus); a colony of this species inhabits the rock of 
Gibraltar, and is the only quadrumanous animal found 
in Europe; the other two are JZ. nemestrinus, the 
PIG-TAILED MonkrEy of Java, and the Indian 
WANDEROO (JZ. silenus). With the exception of 
the first named the members of this genus are 
exclusively Asiatic; they are sociable in their habits, 
often associating in considerable flocks, omnivorous 
in their appetites, feeding on fruits, seeds, and 
occasionally lizards and frogs, whilst one species 
displays a liking for crustacea. The genus Cercopi- 
thecus, strictly confined to Africa, 1s a numerous one, 
we have three representatives, namely, the VERVET 
(C. lalandi), SvKr’s Monkey (C. albigularis), and 
the Paras Monkey (C. patas.) ‘The ‘Guenons,” or 
grinning monkeys, as they are designated by the 
French, are well-known inhabitants of menageries, 
very tractable, quick at learning tricks, and of hardy 
constitution, hence they are great favourites with the 
organ men, and may frequently be seen in such 
company. 
Of the crowning family Simup#, or tailless Old 
World Apes, embracing the Gibbons, Orangs, 
Chimpanzees, and Gorillas, we at present possess no 
examples,
