22 WOOD BABOON. 



to observe, that the prevailing cast of the figure is 

 a dull olive-brown, paler beneath ; with a face ex- 

 actly resembling that of the S. Mormon, of which 

 I take it to be a bad general representation. The 

 memorandum under the drawing states it to have 

 been two feet and a half high.

This species is very finely figured in the Mu- 

 seum Leverianum. It is of a robust frame, and 

 is in height about three feet. Its general colour 

 is a sort of ferruginous greyish-brown, owing to 

 the alternate blackish and ferruginous rings 

 with which every individual hair is marked, and 

 which give a kind of freckled appearance to the 

 whole. The face, hands, and feet, are black; the 

 nails on the hand longish, but rounded at their ex- 

 tremities ; those on the toes somewhat longer and 

 more acuminate. The space on each side the 

 tail is large, bare, and red. The tail scarce three 

 inches in length. It is an African species, and is 

 said to be principally found in Guinea.
