BONNET MACAQUE, OR MUNGA 
45 
the word Macaco is the name which is given to all kinds of qnadramanous animals on the coast 
of Guinea, and is almost synonymous with our own word monkey. 
One of the best typical examples of this genus is found in the Bonnet Macaque, or 
MACAQUES. 
Munga, as it is often called. A native of Bengal and Ceylon, it is a frequent visitor to our 
shores ; being tolerably hardy in constitution, bearing the long voyage well, and suffering less 
from our insular climate than many of the monkey tribe. 
For the title of Bonnet it is indebted to the peculiar arrangement of the hairs on the crown 
of the head, which radiate in such a manner that they seem to form a kind of cap or bonnet.
