724 PRIMA TES C. cMarU, C. fuNgiiwms, C. (dMoi'>, and C. alldgena; aU being from West Africa. . . Cercopithcevs?âM.nzz\e more or less short; ischial callosities moderate : tail long: no talon to third lower molar. Build more slender than in Moxacus. Confined to Africa. The members of this and the last genus include those Monkeys which in their compavative slender build and length of tail make the nearest approach to the next subfamily. There are numerous species, among which the Green Monkey (C. aiUitrichus), the Grivet (C. grii'yj-firidis), the Yerret ((."'. lalandi), the Pluto Monkey (C.pluto, Fig. 347), the Patas ((.'. ruber), the Diana Monkey ((.'. diana), and the â Nlona ilonkey (C mma) are well-known types. Subfamily Semno- pitheeinse. - â Peh-ic limbs longer than the pectoral; tail very long; no cheek- pouches; stomach sac- culated. Build slender. This subfamily is represented by three genera, of which one is African and two are Asiatic. Mr. W. T. Blanford, in his Jlam- mals of Britkli India, observes that " the members of this subfamily are readily distinguished by their slender form, and by the absence of cheek-pouches. They are more purely herbivorous than the Macaque ^Monkeys, and a considerable portion of their food consists of leaves and young shoots. In consequence probably of the natiu-e of their food, these Monkeys are more delicate than the species of Macaxus, and are thus less easily kept in captivity. They are con- sequently far less well represented in European museums, and have been less studied by European naturalists. Very little is known of their general life-history or of their feeding habits." ^ Erxleben, Syst. Hegne. Animal, p. 22 (1777). " Or ColoMnw.
