- 251Note 4. -— The full names of the bucolic mime and the monkey mime were respectively Den-gaku-no-No and Sarugaku-no-No, or the accomplishment of Den-gaku and of Sarugaku; and since every feature distinctive of the original Den-gaku and Saru-gaku disappeared in the new development of the fourteenth century, it was natural that the names also should be abandoned.
