attack man with clubs and stones, to drive him from 
their dwellings. Besides these there are several other 
species, chiefly from Africa and India, and some Ame¬ 
rican Monkeys. The latter differ from those of the 
old world by having four more molar teeth, or grinders, 
—in all thirty-six teeth—a long tail, no cheek pouches, 
nor callosities, and the apertures of the nostrils on the 
sides of the nose, and not beneath. In these Cases are 
also several Lemurs, from Madagascar, the Flying Le¬ 
mur, or Colugo ( Lemur volans, Linn.), found in /the 
Molucca and Philippine Islands ; and, in the upper part 
of the Case, some large Bats (P ter opus ) from India. 
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 £7. labradoricus , Gmel.), 
and the Battel, 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 ( Canis latrans , Say.), from America, the 
Arctic Fox ( Canis lagopus , Linn.), in different states, 
and the striped Hysena ( Canis hyaena , Linn.). Over 
this Case is placed the Cape Ant-eater (. Myrmecophaga 
capensiSi Gmel.), an animal of the Order Edentata, 
which have no incisive teeth. 
Cases 8 and 9, Carnivorous animals continued.— 
Amongst these are the Wild Cat ( Fells 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 (Mlistela lutra , Linn.),—the Sea Otter (M. lutris, 
Linn.), and the Common Seal (. Phoca vitulina , Linn.) 
Case 10 contains some of the Marsupial animals, 
which Cuvier has classed in a separate Order, on ac¬ 
count of the many peculiarities which they possess in 
their
