Huxley thinks the English is from man , and drill =a man-like ape ( Man's Place in Nature , p. 10).] Zoology: Cynocephalus Maimon (Mormon), an African baboon. It was well known to the ancients, and Aristotle speaks of it ( H. A. , 2, 11, 2) under the name of Chœropithecus (Hog-ape). A full-grown male measures about five feet when erect; the hair is light olive-brown above, and silvery-white beneath. It has a small pointed yellow beard, and a tuft of hair on the top of the head, which gives the whole face a triangular appearance. Nicholson says ( Zoology , p. 733) that it is "rendered probably without exception the most disgustingly hideous of living beings by the po e ion of large blood-red natal callosities, and of enormous cheek protuberances striped with brilliant colors in alter nate ribs." Mandrills are insectivorous; and, in addition to their immense canine teeth, approach the Carnivora in many points of anatomical detail. *măn-du-ca-ble, a .
