November 8. (Ulukenia Hills, Athi Plains, British East Africa; type in 
U.S. National Museum.) 
Specimens.—Four, from localities as follows: 
British East Arrica: Nairobi, 1 (McMillan); Ulukenia Hills, 3, 
including one odd skull (Loring). 
This large baboon agrees with P. vigilis, as opposed to P. furaz, in 
the form of the skull, but differs from vigilis in having much more 
black on the hands and wrists. The specimen from Nairobi, which 
was received at the National Zoological Park, in Washington, Decem- 
ber 19, 1909, and lived in the gardens until June 20, 1912, is very 
different from skins of wild-killed animals. All of the buff and 
yellowish colors of the wild baboon have changed to a rich reddish 
brown during the two and one-half years of captivity in Washington, 
and if the history of the specimen was not known its identity with 
Papio lestes would never be mistrusted. Flesh measurements of the 
type specimen, as recorded by Loring, are: Head and body, 723 
millimeters; tail vertebrae, 439; hind foot, 215. The type is a fully 
grown male. 
PAPIO NEUMANNI Matschie. 
1897. Papio neumanni Marscure, Sitz-ber. Ges. nat. Freunde Berlin, 1897, 
p. 161. (Dényo Ngai, Masailand, German East Africa; type in Berlin 
Museum.) 
Specimen.—One odd skull from— 
GerMAN East Arrica: [koma (Lindsay). 
This species is said by Elliot ! to be “‘quite a small baboon,’ but 
as the type is an immature specimen with the last molar not yet in 
place, the adult animal must be considerably larger than indicated 
by the dimensions he records. Heller examined the type-specimen 
in Berlin, and as his measurements of it differ considerably from 
those given by Elliot they may be presented here: 
Papio neumanni Matschie. Type ¢, 11551. Dényo Ngai; O. Neumann. Skin 
stuffed, but not mounted. Color chiefly tawny, the blackish not dominant as in 
specimens from the highlands of British East Africa. Skull immature, last molar not 
yet in place and sutures all open; canines still only half out. Condylo-incisive 
length, 138; greatest length, 173; zygomatic width, 98; rostral width, 34; braincase 
width, 80; upper tooth row to canine, 62; width of palate at second molar, 28; second 
molar, 11.213.3; condylo-incisive length of mandible, 128. 
It is evident that the skull figured and measured by Anderson ? as 
the type-specimen of this species was not the actual type. - The
