Female. Upper parts mixed black and broccoli brown, hairs 

 ringed with yellowish, dorsal region darker, blackish on central line, 

 and then reddish brown to flanks, hairs always ringed with yellowish ; 

 upper parts of arms and legs grayish brown ; hands, feet and tail 

 black. The general color of the body is difficult to describe, as it is 

 a general mixture of black, reddish brown, broccoli brown and grayish 

 brown, with yellowish distributed throughout, and all the browns 

 grading into each other, forming the dark head and dorsal region to 

 the flanks, giving a general appearance of a grayish brown animal with 

 a yellowish tinge, interspersed with black.

 173; Hensel, 157; zygomatic width, 130; intertemporal width, 59; 

 palatal length, 190 ; breadth of braincase, 83 ; median length of nasals,

The skull of Brunnich's specimen is in the Berlin Museum, the 

 type itself having been destroyed long since. In its measurements there 

 is no important diflference from those given above, except the zygomatic 

 width which is considerably less. Mr. Grant, as quoted by Thomas and 

 Schwann; (1. c.) says in Zululand this baboon is difficult to secure, and 

 more often heard than seen, as they live in large troops in the thick 

 forest. "They feed principally on fruit, and where wild fruit abounds 

 they can sometimes be obtained by waiting under the trees, but they are 

 at all times wonderfully wary." At Knyswa in Cape Colony, Mr. Grant 

 found this species "in large troops both in the forest and on the 

 Krantzes along the coast. It is exceedingly wary and can seldom be 

 obtained; at times, however, they are very bold, and do considerable 

 damage amongst mealies and fruits." 



Mr. W. L. Sclater, (1. c.) gives the following account of this 

 baboon furnished him by Mr. W. Cloete of Waterfall near Grahams- 

 town, South Africa: "The Chacma is an inhabitant of the steep and 

 rocky Krantzes which abound in all parts of Africa, and although 

 most frequently found in treeless country, is a very good tree climber
