from a drawing", but which that writer seems to consider as 

 a variety of the Ouanderou. 



The broad-toothed baboon of Pennant seems likely to 

 have been an adult specimen of this species. 



The bonneted monkey of Pennant (Quad. v.i. p. 210, the 

 simia capileata of Shaw, v. i. p. 53,) was described from a 

 specimen in the Leverian museum. Shaw thought it was 

 allied to the American horned monkey and to the Capuchin. 

 Buffon, on the contrary, considered it as connected with the 

 Chinese monkey of the old world. It appears, however, to 

 be distinct. The face and breast are of a pale yellow 

 brown, deeper on the back, the lower part of which, as well 

 as the exterior of the limbs, incline to brown. The hair 

 on the head stands up in the manner of a circular cap or 

 bonnet. It is about the size of a cat. Its habits and 

 country are unknown. 



We might here insert descriptions from several indivi- 

 duals among the Guenon, both from accounts in print, and 

 from specimens which have fallen under our own observa- 

 tion ; we deem it, however, more prudent to finish our 

 essay on this division of the order here, and to refer to the 

 table, for the specific characters, synonymes, &c, of all 

 the rest. 



Supplement on the Baboons. 



In whatever degree the countenance and form in the hu- 

 man species may be indexes of the intellectual and moral 

 character, however liable we may be to error in pronounc- 

 ing on the man from those exterior appearances, it is pretty 

 certain that they form among the lower animals a toler- 

 ably safe criterion of judgment. We have observed in our 

 researches on the Quadrumana, that the form of the head
