The skins of these animals are an article of traffic in Western Africa, but are commonly deprived of the head, limbs, and tail. Jlany Ccrcopitheci are prepared in the same manner.*] The Doucs (Semnojuthecus, F. Cuv.)— Differ from the true Monkeys by having an ackUtional small tubercle on the last of the inferior molars.
