5't MAMxMALlA. 



C. papio, Desm. ; Sim. sphynx, Lin. ; Papion, Buff. (The Gui- 

 nea Baboon). Yellow, verging more or less on a brown ; tufts of 

 the cheeks fa\vn-colourecl; face black; tail long*. They are found 

 of various sizes, owing probably to the difference of age ; when full 

 grown, frightful from their ferocity and brutal lubricity. From 

 Guinea. 



There is another neighbouring species with a shorter tail, a greener 

 fur, whiter cheek-tufts and a flesh-coloured face, ^S*. cynoeephalus; 

 the Babouin, Fr. Cuv. Mem. du Mus. IV. pi. 19. 



C.porcarms; Sim. porcariajBodd.; S.ursina, Fenn.; S.sphyn- 

 giola, Herm. ; The Long-faced Guenon, Penn., and Buff. Supp. 

 VII. pi. 15 ; Black Monlcey of Vaillantf ; Chacma, Fr. Cuv. Mammif. 

 Black, with a green or yellowish glaze, particularly on the forehead ; 

 tufts of the cheeks grey ; face and hands black ; his tail reaches his 

 heel, and ends in a tuft of hair. The adult has a large mane — in 

 every thing else, as to habits and form, he resembles the preceding. 

 From the Cape of Good Hope. 



C. hamadryas; Tartarin of Belon, Ois. fol. 101, or Papion a 

 perruque; Sim. hamadryas, L. ; Docj-faced Baboon, Penn. ; Singe 

 de Moco, Buff. Supp. VII. \0\. A slightly blueish ash-colour; 

 hairs of the ruff, and particularly those of the sides of the head, very 

 long; face flesh-coloured. This great monkey is also among the 

 most libidinous and horribly ferocious of his kind — lives in Arabia 

 and Ethiopia. 



There is another species, the Phillippines, which should be dis- 

 tinguished from other Cynocephala, which is totally black, and with- 

 out a tail — S. nigra, Cuv. ; but whose head resembles that of the 

 rest. The 



Mandrills, 



Of all the monkeys, have the longest muzzle (30°); their tail is very 

 short ; they are very brutal and ferocious ; nose as in the preceding. 



Sim. maimon and mormon, Linn. ; Boggo, Choras, Buff. XIV. 

 XVI. XVII. et Supp. VII. 9. (The Mandrill). Greyish brown, 

 inclining to olive above; a small lemon-yeUow-coloured beard on 

 the chin; cheeks blue and furrowed. The nose in the adult male 

 becomes red, particularly at the end, where it is scarlet, which has 

 been the cause of its being deemed, erroneously, a distinct species §. 



* Those wliich have been figured as having it short, as the Papions of BufF. XIV. 

 pi. 13 and 14, &c. had it cut off. M. Brongnard was the first who gave a good figure 

 of it, but under the improper name of Sim. cynoeephalus. His figure is copied by 

 Schreber, pi. 13, B. See the diflerent Papios in the Mammif. Fred. Cuv. 



f All these factitious species have been established on the good or bad condition 

 of individual specimens of the same species, or on their diflerence of age. 



X Copied by Schreber, but badly coloured. There is now a good figure of it in 

 the Mammif. of Fred. Cuv. 



§ We have seen, as well as M. Geoftroy, two or three Mandrills, or S. maimon, 

 change to the Choras or S. mormon, in the menagerie of the Museum. The tuft of 

 hair, which is frequently given as a character of the mormon, is often also in the
