zle truncated at the end, in which the nostrils are pierced, giving 
it a greater resemblance to that of a dog than of any other mon-

C. papio, Desm.; Sim. sphynx, Lin.; Papion, Buff. (The 
Guinea Baboon.) Yellow, verging more or less on a brown; | 
tufts of the cheeks fawn-coloured ; face black ; tail long.(1) 
They are found of various sizes, owing probably to the dif-

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,
