The skins of these animals are an article of traffic in 'Western Africa, but are commonly deprived of the head, limbs, and tail. Many Cercopitheci are prepared in the same manner.*] The Doucs (Setnnopifhecus, F. Cuv.)— Differ from the true Monkeys by having an additional small tubercle on the last of the inferior molars. They are the ordinary Monkeys of the East; and their lengthened limbs and extremely elongated tail [as in Colobus] give them a peculiar air. Their muzzle projects very little more than that of the Gibbons, and, like them, they have callosities on the buttocks ; they appear, likewise, to have no cheek-pouches : their larynx is furnished with a sac. [The stomach (fig. 3) is singularly complicated, consisting of three divisions; first, a cardiac pouch, with smooth and simple parietes, slightly bifid at the extremity; secondly, a middle, very wide and sacculated portion ; thirdly, a narrow, elongated canal, sacculated at its commencement, and of simple structure towards its termination : their food, accordingly, is supposed to be more herba- ceous than that of other Catarrhlni, which is further intimated by the blunter tubercles of their molars, and the elongation of their intestines and ccecum.
