CLASS I. — MAMMALIA, 
V 
ORDER II. — Quadrumana. 
Of this order three principal genera are enumerated, viz. I. Simia, 
Lin., II. Hapale, Illig., and III. Lemur, Lin. ; the first and last of 
these contain so many subgenera and species that they almost deserve 
to rank as distinct families, for Simia has fifteen subgenera, Lemur 
five, while Hapale has only two, which however contain more than 
eight different species.

This is according to the classification followed by Cuvier in the 
second edition of his Regne Animal , published in 1829. 
The first eight subgenera of Simice inhabit the old world, the re- 
mainder are found in the new, and have received the general appel- 
lation of Sapajous (Cebus Erxl).
