THE LIVING WORLD. 
The Hebe, or Tartarin ( Cynocephalus kamadryas), is from four to five feet 
in height when erect, and infests the mountainous regions of Abyssinia and 
Arabia. It is covered with long, shaggy hair, except on the legs where it is 
specially short. Its face is long and looks like an unwashed human skin. It 
moves about in large companies, the old males bringing up the rear. It is the 
tot , tota , or thoth of the ancient Egyptians, and it is often found as a mummy. 
The Papion, or Papio ( Cynocephalus papio ), is of various shades of red, 
inclining, however, to a brownish-yellow. On the march the young lead the 
van and reconnoitre, the females occupy the security of a central position, and

whiskers. Its face, hands and ears are hairless and black, but its eyelids are 
as white as an albinos. 
The Mandrill, or Hobgoblin (Ateles maimon ), belongs to Guinea, and its 
immense size and forbidding appearance are but indications of its ferocious and 
malicious character. Its head looks like that of a hornless buffalo, and termi¬ 
nates in an enormous snout and a wide, thick-lipped mouth. The extremity 
of the snout is a bright red, and its ridges are marked by lines of blue, azure, 
purple and scarlet. It wears a yellow, Shakespearean beard, its hairless ears
