A DOG-FACED BABOON. 
THE UGLY BABOON. 
With the true baboons we come to the most hideous and repulsive-look¬ 
ing- members of the monkey tribe, their repulsive appearance being only 
equalled by the fierce and untamable disposition of several of the group. 
All the baboons are confined to Africa and the countries lying on the north 
of the Red Sea, so that they are totally absent from the Oriental region. 
THE STORY OF THE MONKEY. 239 
The few monkeys who come too late to get fuddled escape. The drinkers 
are too far gone to distrust their captors, but apparently take them for larger 
species of their own genus. The negroes lay hold of one or two, and these 
immediately begin to weep and cover them with maudlin kisses. When a 
negro takes one by the hand to lead him off, the nearest monkey will cling 
to the one who thus finds a support and endeavor to go off also. Another 
will grasp at him, and thus in turn till the negro leads a staggering line of 
ten or a dozen tipsy monkeys.
