and on the Congo; and the Mandrill from Africa, 
These animals are said to live in society, forming 
huts of leaves and branches, and to attack man with 
clubs and stones, in order to drive him from their 
dwellings. Besides these there are several other spe¬ 
cies, chiefly from Africa and India, and some American 
Monkeys. The latter differ from those of the old 
world by having four additional molar teeth, or grinders, 
a long tail, no cheek pouches, nor callosities, and the 
apertures of the nostrils on the sides of the nose, and 
not beneath; among them are the grey silver-haired 
Monkey {Lagothrix canus) and the Four-fingered, or 
Spider-Monkey (Ateles ater). In the lower part of Cases 
4 and 5, are also several Lemurs, from Madagascar, and 
the Flying Lemur, or Colugo {Lemur volajis, Linn.), 
found in the Molucca and Philippine Islands. 
The Cases No. 5—7, contain various carnivorous ani¬ 
mals.—Amongst those called Plantigrade, from their 
applying the whole of the lower surface of the foot to 
the ground in walking, are the Malay Bear ( Ursus ma- 
layanus , Horsf.), the European and American Badger 
(Ursus meles, Linn, and U. labradoricus, Gmel.), 
and the Rattel, or Honey Weasel ( Viverra mellivora, 
Gmel.).—Amongst the Digitigrade, or those animals 
which in walking rest principally on the extremities of 
their toes, are several varieties of the Dog-kind, as the 
Prairie Wolf ( Cams latrans , Say.), from America, the 
Arctic Fox ( Cams lagopus, Linn.), in different states, 
and the striped Hyaena ( Canis hycena , Linn.). Over 
this Case is placed the Cape Ant-eater ( Myrmecophaga 
capensis , Gmel.), an animal of the Order Edentata, 
which have no incisive teeth. 
Cases 9—11, Carnivorous animals continued.— 
Amongst these are the Wild Cat ( Felis catus, Linn.), 
and several varieties of the common domestic Cat; the 
Puma (F. concolor , Linn.), and a Mule-Whelp between 
the Lion and Tiger, born in Atkins’ travelling menagerie, 
at Windsor; also several specimens of the common 
Otter
