DOG-FACED BABOONS. 189 



It is remarkable for the slender form of the muzzle, 

 but approaches nearer to Cercocebus in colouring, and 

 has a longer tail than the generality of our present 

 group. 



We have now endeavoured to represent, 



THE WANDEROO MONKEY.

THE Wanderoo, or lion-tailed monkey of Pennant, 

 is so well marked, that a description, in addition to 

 the figure, is almost unnecessary. 



Knox describes it shortly and quaintly in his 

 Ceylon : He says, " there are abundance in the woods, 

 as large as English spaniel dogs, of a darkish-gray 

 colour, and black faces, with great white beards round 

 from ear to ear, which make them show just like old 

 men. They do little mischief, keeping in the woods, 

 eating only leaves and buds of trees ; but when they 

 are catched they will eat anything. This sort they 

 call, in their language, Wanderows"
