Z. G Mar 28. The Barbary ape is the Inuus or Magot. When it laughs it makes no more noise than man's silent laugh. The corner of the mouth is drawn backwards & upwards in an extraordinary degree; & the skin under eyes much wrinkled.

When angry a hoarse barking noise & lips differently retracted. Expression.
