This great Monkey is also among the most libidinous and horribly ferocious of his kind-lives in Arabia and Ethiopia. There is another species which should be distinguished from other Cynocephala, which is tota1ly black, and without the Dog played a conspicuous part in the symbols of the Egyptians, in which it represented Tot or Mercury.
