218 CLASS MAMMALIA. 



The Papion, or common Baboon. (Simia Sphynx.) 



Of a yellowish green, trenching more or less on 

 brown. Black visage, long tail *. They are 

 found of various sizes, which in all probability 

 result from the differences of age. When adult, 

 this animal is most ferocious and disgusting. 

 A native of Guinea. 



The Black Papion. (Simia Porcaria, Bodd. Ursina, Penn. 

 Sphyngiola, Verm. La guenon a, face allongee, Penn. and 

 Buff. Supp. VII.pl. xv. Singe noir de Vaillantf.) 



Black, fronted over with yellow or greenish, 

 particularly in the forehead. In form and 

 manners like the preceding. From the Cape. 



The Tartarin of Belon, or Papion, a, perruque. (Simia 

 Hamadryas, Linn. Dog-faced Baboon of Pennant. 

 Singe de Moco. Buff on. Supple. VII., x.) 



Of an ash-colour, somewhat bluish. Hairs of 

 the Ruff, and above all, those of the sides of 

 the head, very long : face flesh-coloured. This 

 large baboon is also one of the most disgusting, 

 and horribly ferocious. It is peculiar to 

 Arabia. 



* Those which have been represented with short tails, had the 

 tail cut, as the Papions of Buffon. 



f All these factitious species are founded on the variations of 

 health or age in the individuals.
