AFRICAN BABOONS 35

on the side of the chief mountain, Kina Balu. From
Celebes farther eastward, and from the small island
of Batchian more eastward still, comes the black ape,
which gives the connecting link between the macaques
and true baboons.

The true baboons are exclusively African, with
the exception of the Arabian species on the Red Sea
littoral. On the West Coast are the drill and man-
drill, the papio, and the anubis; on the East Coast,
and extending right across, is the yellow baboon ;
and in the south is the chacma, found in all the
mountain ranges of Cape Colony, living in droves of

Bay and in the tract stretching down to Cape Point.
There are monkeys all over Africa, from the Somali-

Barbary macaque to the Cape vervet. Even 3,000
feet up the slopes of Kilima-njaro there is a guereza ;
and a fine fellow he is, with a long silky mantle and
a brush to his tail that would not disgrace a yak.
But that we know all the African species is very
unlikely ; for Africa has been but little worked as far
_ asits simian fauna is concerned. Sportsmen as a rule
care little for such troublesome things as monkeys.

called, and the anthropoid apes are not so very great.
None of the anthropoids has a tail, but although the
monkeys generally have tails, their tails are of dif-

is one characteristic, however, which is worth noting,
and that is that no Old-World monkey hangs on
by his tail as some of the Americans do, There isa
