This remarkable Baboon is distinguished at the first glance 
from every other species by its hoary colour, white belly, and 
unannulated fur. It is much to be hoped that further examples 
of it will be sent home, and also skulls of different ages and both 
sexes, as Baboons are animals of which our knowledge is miserably 
imperfect, mainly owing to the fact. that nearly all the specimens 
in the different museums have lived in captivity, and are therefore 
quite unsuitable for scientific examination. 
For this reason, Baboons from all localities, even of the commonest 
species, are special desiderata to our National Museum, and no 
wild-killed examples can possibly be valueless, if accompanied by 
their skulls and a record of their exact locality. Skulls alone, 
old or young, male or female, to any number, will also be extremely 
acceptable.
