but smaller in proportion. This species is figured 
by Edwards, at plate 214 of his work on Natural 
History. Mr. Edwards informs us, that he car- 
ried his in order to compare it with a much larger 
one of the same species, to Bartholomew fair, and 
that they seemed to be highly pleased with each 
other s company, though it was the first time of 
their meeting^'." 
CRESTED BABOON. 
S, semkaudata nigra, capillitio diffusa, pectore cdbido, facie manihusque 
nudis. 
Short-tailed black Baboon, with very long hair on the crown 
and cheeks, the breast whitish, the face and hands bare. 
Crested Baboon. Pennant ^adr. p. 193. 
With the hairs on the crown very long and 
dishevelled : those on the cheeks of the same form 
and of a dusky colour , breast whitish : rest of 
the body covered with long black hair ; that on 
the limbs the same : face and feet black and bare : 
tail slender, taper, about seven inches long: whole 
length of the animal two feet. Inhabits India. 
* Edwards's figure, though, doubtless, a faithful representation 
of the individual specimen from which it was drawn (and which 
,seems to have been a small or half grown one) , represents the ani- 
mal, with a face not sufficiently thick and large : the befl figure 
is that of BufFon, which is, indeed, excellent. BufFon very pro- 
perly observes, that, in its general appearance, except the pig-like 
tail, it so perfectly represents the Macaque, or Cynomolgus, that 
one might suppose it a variety of that species.
