PIG-TAILED MONKEY. 
IHIS animal, the Maimon of BufFon, is not 
larger than a cat» It has received from diffe- 
rent naturalists, different names,, but is best 
known by that of the Pig-Tailed Baboon, or 
Monkey. 
Buffon remarks, that the Ape, the Ba- 
boon, and the Monkey, form three bodies, 
between each of which are two intervals ;. 
the first filled up by the Magot, and the second 
the Maimon : this last fills up the chasm 
between the Baboon and the Monkey, in the 
same manner as the Magot does that between 
he Ape and the Baboon. In f:i6l, the Mai- 
-non resembles the Baboon by it's thick and 
arge snout, and it's short and crooked tail ; 
' )ut differs from it, and approaches nearer the 
I donkey, by it's gentle disposition, as well as 
j ly it's size, which is much less than that of 
lie Baboon^'*
