hid within the hair. The head is large, and co- 
vered with chesnut-coloured hair : the whole body 
is also of a similar colour, except that on the 
breast, it approaches to orange. Round the 
throat and shoulders the hair is much longer 
than on the other parts, so as to form a sort of 
cloak, as in some of the Baboons, to which, in- 
deed, this species seems nearly allied. It is an 
East-Indian animal, and is extremely rare. The 
form of the nose is most singular, being divided 
almost into two lobes at the tip ; a longitudinal 
fiuTow running along the middle. It is said to 
be found chiefly in Cochinchina, and to grow to 
a very large size. It is sometimes seen in great 
troops, and is considered as of a ferocious dispo- 
sition. It feeds only on fruits. Its native name 
is khi doc, or Great Monkey, Some Cochinchi- 
nese, who visited the royal cabinet at Paris, im- 
mediately recognized the animal.
