Pale-brown beardless Baboon, with callosities behind, and with 
longish flesh-coloured face, a whitish band across the forehead, 
and a longish sharp-pointed tail. 
This animal is described by Scopoli, who in- 
forms us that it was about the size of a middling- 
dog ; being nearly two feet from nose to tail : it 
had cheek-pouches, and bare spaces behind, 
though in the figure accompanying his descrip- 
tion this particular does not appear. The plate 
in the coloured copy of the above w^ork, in the 
Banksian Library, is represented of a very pale 
straw-coloured brown, nearly white beneath : the 
face and ears very slightly dusky ; eyes and eye- 
lids very pale brown ; across the forehead, over 
the eyes, a broad white band ; tail long, thin, and 
sharp-pointed. The face appears uncommonly 
mild and placid. It was very fond of snufF, 
which it would also occasionally rub over its body 
in a ridiculous style.
