The black-faced monkey of Europeans. — Abounds more particularly is 

 the forests, where its loud wild cry is particularly striking. They are 

 both useful and troublesome to the sportsman, who may often judge by 

 their agitation and chattering of the vicinity of some beast of prey : while 

 he himself is apt to be assailed in a similar manner when trying to steal 

 upon the more timid kin-Is of game. The species is celebrated in Hin- 

 du mythology, for having, under their leader Hannman, assisted ihehero 

 and demi-god Rama, the first Hindu conqueror of the furests of Southern 

 India, as related in the Ramayana.
