PAPIO 123 



"hairs unicolor" no description is given, and the name is a 

 no men nudum. 



1902. /. Anderson, Zoology of Egyptian Mammalia. 



In this work Papio has P. hamadryas ; P. amibis (desc. no 

 plate), undeterminable, and P. pruinosus. By recognizing only 

 these species of baboons the following arrangement is effected : 

 P. a. neumanni Matschie, and P. heuglini Matschie, and 

 Cynocephala doguera Pucheran, are made synonyms of P. 

 anttbisl P. babuin Cuv., and P. thoth Ogilby, and P. t. ibeanus 

 Thos., become synonyms of P. cynocephalus! As P. aniibis 

 Cuv., is quite undeterminable, no example of a baboon like his 

 description and plate being known, it is probable that Anderson 

 mistook a specimen of P. cynocephalus for anubis, therefore 

 all his Papio would belong to that species, according to his 

 views as above given.

 Papio strepitus, and Papio furax first described.

Papio tessellatum, P. Nigeria, and P. brockmani first 

 described. 



GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF THE SPECIES AND SUBSPECIES. 



The middle portion of the African Continent between the great 

 lakes and the Atlantic Ocean, is not yet sufficiently well known for us 

 to indicate what species of Papio may be found in it, or to specify 

 what may be the ranges within its boundaries of the described species 

 which may penetrate within its limits. East Africa contains the 

 greatest number of the known species of Papio, and beginning in the 

 northern part we find that P. cynocephalus ranges from Nubia, 

 through the Soudan, its exact southern limit not yet ascertained. In 

 the country between the Atbara River and the Bahr el Abiad. an 

 allied form P. heuglini is found. In Abyssinia P. doguera and P. 

 hamadryas occur, and at Derra Dowa near the boundary of Somali- 

 land, P. brockmani has been obtained. At Lamu, at the mouth of 

 the Tana River, P. ibeanus was procured. At Donga Ngai, Masai- 

 land, P. neumanni was taken, and west of the Victoria Nyanza at 

 Mulema, Ankole, P. tessellatum was found. Xorth west of Mt. 

 Kenia at Baringo, P. furax occurs ; and in Nyassaland at Lesumbwe, 

 on Livingstone's Peninsula, Lake Nyassa, P. pruinosus was procured ; 

 and at Fort Johnston on the north of the same lake, P. strepitus was
