claimed by tbe eye-brows. Its tail is twice as long as in the satyr, but it 
compensates for this superiority by lacking the tuft. .Some varieties of this 
species lack the tail, or have it in merely a rudimentary form. It is hardy, 
and does not suffer from confinement, so that it can generally be found in 
zoological gardens, and its appearance is thus rendered familiar. 
The Tailless Macaque (Macacus niger ) lives upon the rocks and feeds 
upon mollusks, crustaceans, insects or vegetable life. 
The Tailed Macaque is a denizen of the forest. While quite young the 
macaque is gentle and 
teachable, but after a few 
years its disposition 
seems to undergo a 
change, caused, perhaps, 
by its trials and disap¬ 
pointments. 
The Munga, or 
Bonneted Macaque 
(Macaque sinicus) is a 
long-tailed species, clad 
in brownish-green, with a 
whitish shirt front. It 
parts the hair on the 
forehead in the middle, 
but brushes back the rest 
of its capillary adorn¬ 
ment. Its habitat is 
Ceylon, but it is fre¬ 
quently imported, and is 
relatively hardy and able 
to endure a change of cli¬ 
mate. Its face is flesh- 
colored, its body olive and 
gray above and white 
beneath. It is larger than 
the green monkeys, has a 
much shorter tail, is more 
muscular, and the’ callosi¬ 
ties or hardened spots 
hamadryas ( Cynocephaius hamadryas^. on its hind legs are quite 
decided. The munga be¬ 
longs to the sacred monkeys of India, and it may be that the ready attention and 
obedience with which he meets at home will explain the sullenness, and surli¬ 
ness, and spitefulness which the specimens occupying our monkey cages generally 
exhibit. In India, the temple of the monkeys is inhabited mostly by this species, 
and hundreds of them meet the visitor in expectation of the propitiatory offer¬ 
ings which he is required to bring for them as well as for the priests whose 
lives are devoted to their service. 
The Bunder Monkey, or Rhesus {Macacus rhesus ), is another sacred mon¬ 
key of India, the natives in some districts going so far as to pay tithes to it.
