WOOD BABOON. 
Of this animal we have very little informa- 
tion : there is a good specimen of the Wood 
Baboon in the Leverian Museum, but we do 
not know that it has ever been seen alive in 
England. 
It is the Simia Papio Sylvicola, of the Lin- 
nsean system ; the Baboon of the W oods, of 
the Supplement to BufFon ; the Short-Tailed 
Ferruginous-Brown Baboon, with Callosities 
behind, and with Black Naked Face, Hands, 
and Feet, of the Leverian Museum ; and the 
Wood Baboon, of Pennant, and most other 
naturalists. It is said to be called,, in Guinea, 
by the English who reside in that country, the 
Man of the Woods : a name which is more 
strictly applicable to the Ouran-Outang ; and 
for which, perhaps, it may have been mistaken, 
though it is an undoubted Baboon, and not au 
Ape. 
This curious Baboon appears to be peculiar 
to Africa j and ir is said to be chiefly found in 
Guinea.
