A yellow Baboon with comparativelv soft fur consisting of two 

 différent kinds of hairs, viz. very long, and comparatively short 

 ones. The long hairs measure on the head of some adult females 

 from 7 to 10 cm. On the back the length of the longest hairs varies 

 between approximately the same limits. The short hairs, which 

 form the main fur, are on the head about 2 and on the back about 

 4 cm. long. Basally the fur is pale smoky brown, somewhat more 

 brownish than Oberthur's « smoke grey » 367.4, perhaps with a 

 shade of « chocolaté » 343-1 in some cases. Then follows a broad 

 portion of a buff colour, about 309.1, but perhaps a little duUer, 

 and finally black tips of various length. The long hairs bave a long 

 black tip, below this a broad, buffish band, then a brownish band 

 and again buffish. Sometimes there may be more than one brownish 

 band on the hairs. The resuit is a pale buff animal, thinly overlaid 

 with blackish. The arms are on the whole similar to the back. The 

 thighs are a little more richly coloured, somewhat more yellowish 

 buff with less black mixing. The lower legs are paler and duller in 

 colour, and the feet similar with or without some blackish tips to 

 the hairs. The tail is pale buffish grey mixed with black especially 

 towards the tip. The cheeks and the whole lower side is isabelline 

 white.
