were healed. It remained at the Museum some time 

 afterwards, and although mischievous to the family, 

 yet, on the least motion of my hand, or on my ut- 

 tering an angry word, it was all attention and submis-

Is about two feet from nose to tail, an active and 

 sprightly animal, greatly resembling the above Ba-

5 and 6. Lion-tailed Baboon, male and female (S, 

 Silenus). 



These are very remarkable and highly extraordi- 

 nary animals ; they are natives of Ceylon and other 

 parts of India, and are, in their native state, wild,

7. Wood Baboon (S. Silvatica). 



An active, roving species, inhabiting the woods of 

 Africa. 



8. Crested Baboon (S. Cristata). A native of

A very large and tierce species, remarkable for the
