  The 
  general 
  appearance 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  is 
  that 
  of 
  a 
  yellowish 
  

   animal 
  with 
  a 
  brownish 
  back 
  and 
  a 
  reddish 
  head 
  and 
  limbs, 
  and 
  under 
  

   parts 
  whitish 
  gray. 
  This 
  is 
  the 
  effect 
  the 
  various 
  colors 
  of 
  the 
  hairs 
  

   produce 
  when 
  glanced 
  at. 
  In 
  coloration 
  it 
  belongs 
  to 
  the 
  light 
  yellow- 
  

   hued 
  baboons. 
  Looked 
  at 
  in 
  some 
  lights 
  the 
  hairs 
  have 
  a 
  greenish 
  

   yellow 
  tint, 
  but 
  when 
  carefully 
  examined 
  the 
  colors 
  are 
  as 
  in 
  the 
  

   description 
  and 
  unlike 
  any 
  of 
  the 
  other 
  species. 
  Two 
  specimens 
  were 
  

   obtained 
  by 
  Sir 
  Harry 
  Johnston 
  in 
  Nyassaland, 
  the 
  type 
  at 
  Fort 
  

   Johnston, 
  and 
  the 
  other 
  at 
  Zomba, 
  on 
  Lake 
  Nyassa. 
  The 
  species 
  bears 
  

   no 
  resemblance 
  whatever 
  to 
  P. 
  pruinosus 
  procured 
  at 
  Lesumbwe, 
  

   Nyassaland, 
  either 
  in 
  color 
  or 
  in 
  characters 
  of 
  the 
  skull. 
  The 
  two 
  

   examples 
  are 
  in 
  the 
  Collection 
  of 
  the 
  British 
  Museum. 
  

  

  Sir 
  Harry 
  Johnston, 
  referring 
  probably 
  to 
  this 
  species, 
  states 
  that 
  

   it 
  is 
  very 
  common 
  everywhere 
  in 
  Nyassaland, 
  and 
  very 
  bold 
  and 
  

   cunning. 
  It 
  is 
  constantly 
  robbing 
  the 
  plantations 
  of 
  the 
  natives, 
  and 
  

   the 
  women 
  profess 
  to 
  go 
  in 
  terror 
  of 
  the 
  large 
  males, 
  as 
  they 
  say 
  the 
  

   latter 
  would 
  attempt 
  to 
  outrage 
  them 
  if 
  they 
  see 
  no 
  man 
  accompanying 
  

   the 
  party. 
  When 
  the 
  baboons 
  descend 
  to 
  raid 
  the 
  plantations, 
  one 
  or 
  

   more 
  of 
  their 
  number 
  invariably 
  stand 
  sentry 
  to 
  warn 
  the 
  rest 
  of 
  the 
  

   troop 
  of 
  approaching 
  danger.
