  PAPIO 
  

  

  This 
  is 
  a 
  yellowish 
  baboon, 
  the 
  hairs 
  with 
  a 
  somewhat 
  greenish 
  

   tinge 
  on 
  upper 
  parts. 
  It 
  has 
  long 
  legs 
  and 
  a 
  slender 
  body, 
  and 
  I 
  am 
  

   inclined 
  to 
  consider 
  it 
  the 
  same 
  as 
  P. 
  cynocephalus. 
  As 
  the 
  type 
  of 
  

   this 
  species 
  has 
  no 
  locality, 
  there 
  is 
  nothing 
  to 
  guide 
  us 
  as 
  regards 
  its 
  

   patria, 
  and 
  the 
  type 
  of 
  langheldi 
  resembles 
  closely 
  the 
  specimen 
  of 
  P. 
  

   thoth 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum. 
  The 
  skull 
  has 
  a 
  very 
  long 
  facial 
  region, 
  

   being 
  111 
  mm. 
  from 
  the 
  posterior 
  end 
  of 
  nasals 
  to 
  the 
  incisors, 
  with 
  a 
  

   low 
  braincase 
  barely 
  raised 
  above 
  the 
  orbital 
  ridges, 
  and 
  is 
  105 
  mm. 
  in 
  

   length, 
  76 
  mm. 
  greatest 
  breadth. 
  There 
  are 
  slightly 
  elevated 
  ridges 
  on 
  

   sides 
  of 
  rostrum 
  above 
  narial 
  aperture. 
  

  

  The 
  type 
  of 
  P. 
  thoth 
  Ogilby, 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum, 
  numbered 
  

   55. 
  12.

  8. 
  Skull 
  No. 
  1,100 
  a. 
  The 
  example 
  is 
  mounted 
  and 
  is 
  of 
  an 
  

   olive 
  brownish 
  yellow, 
  and 
  may 
  be 
  described 
  as 
  follows 
  : 
  

  

  Top 
  of 
  head, 
  hind 
  neck, 
  upper 
  parts 
  and 
  sides 
  of 
  body 
  to 
  thighs 
  

   olive 
  brownish 
  yellow, 
  the 
  hairs 
  having 
  several 
  cream 
  colored 
  rings 
  

   and 
  black 
  tips; 
  rump 
  and 
  legs 
  a 
  clearer 
  yellow 
  than 
  the 
  body; 
  sides 
  

   of 
  head, 
  throat 
  and 
  front 
  of 
  shoulders 
  yellowish 
  white 
  or 
  yellowish 
  

   gray; 
  outer 
  side 
  of 
  arms, 
  chest 
  and 
  under 
  parts 
  like 
  the 
  back; 
  inner 
  

   side 
  of 
  limbs 
  yellowish, 
  the 
  hairs 
  without 
  annulations 
  ; 
  hands 
  and 
  feet 
  

   mixed 
  yellow 
  and 
  black, 
  the 
  latter 
  being 
  mainly 
  on 
  the 
  tips 
  of 
  the 
  hairs. 
  

   Hairs 
  on 
  upper 
  back 
  are 
  very 
  long, 
  some 
  reaching 
  300 
  mm., 
  but 
  they 
  

   do 
  not 
  form 
  a 
  mane. 
  The 
  tail 
  is 
  yellow 
  at 
  base, 
  remainder 
  blackish 
  

   brown, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  difficult 
  to 
  determine 
  whether 
  this 
  last 
  is 
  the 
  natural 
  

   color, 
  or 
  if 
  it 
  arises 
  from 
  the 
  paucity 
  of 
  fur 
  on 
  the 
  dark 
  skin, 
  or 
  from 
  

   the 
  accumulation 
  of 
  dust 
  deposited 
  during 
  the 
  many 
  years 
  the 
  specimen 
  

   has 
  been 
  exhibited. 
  Total 
  length, 
  1,444; 
  tail, 
  620; 
  foot, 
  210. 
  The 
  

   animal 
  when 
  living 
  must 
  have 
  been 
  a 
  long 
  time 
  in 
  captivity, 
  the 
  skull 
  

   showing 
  this 
  in 
  its 
  abnormal 
  shape 
  and 
  its 
  deteriorated 
  condition. 
  

  

  The 
  type 
  of 
  C. 
  babuin 
  F. 
  Cuvier, 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  Paris 
  Museum 
  and 
  

   resembles 
  closely 
  P. 
  thoth, 
  much 
  more 
  so 
  indeed 
  than 
  it 
  does 
  any 
  other 
  

   specimen 
  of 
  the 
  cynocephalus 
  type. 
  Unfortunately 
  neither 
  example 
  

   has 
  any 
  locality 
  given 
  for 
  it, 
  and 
  whence 
  these 
  types 
  originally 
  came 
  is 
  

   quite 
  unknown.
