COLLECTION OF MAMMALIA. 3ll 



sive elongation of its nose, which grows with 

 age. These animals are very common in Borneo, 

 where they live in troops on trees : they cry 

 kahau. The species on the fourth shelf are 

 new ; they are allied to the simice entellus and 

 maura of Geoffroy ; and were procured by 

 MM. Diard and Duvaucel. The macaucos are at 

 the bottom of this case : one of the most remark- 

 able, for the long mane which surrounds its face, 

 is the ouanderou of Buff on {simia silenus). After 

 the macaucos we observe the magot (simia in- 

 nuus), from Barbary ; it is naturalized in Spain, 

 on the rock of Gibraltar, and is one of the most 

 common apes, and the easiest to instruct. One 

 of these in the Museum is of a remarkable size. 



On the side opposite the windows are the 

 apes with long faces, called cynocephali, or dog- 

 headed. The largest and most formidable of them 

 is the hairy baboon {simia porcaria) : these ani- 

 mals inhabit in troops<the w oody mountains near 

 the Cape of Good Hope. M. Delalande's voyage 

 has afforded the two sexes, and several young in- 

 dividuals of this species. On the lower shelves 

 are the different ages of a species, nearly of the 

 same colour as this, and the habits of which are 

 equally brutal and ferocious ; they belong to the 

 simia sphinx , or baboon of Guinea. Below these 

 we see the mandrill (s. maimonand s. mormon, L.),
