XI.— NOTES AT BARODA. 
H.H. the Maharaja, the Gaekwar of Baroda, maintains 
between the city and cantonment of Baroda a large and 
beautiful garden, containing a collection of wild animals, 
which is open free to the public. The main feature of this 
garden is a deep nullah, with steep picturesque banks, which 
winds through the grounds and is crossed by several bridges. 
Dozens of Langur Monkeys, Semnopithecus entellus, roam 
wild in this garden, and I imagine that at times they must 
be a source of a good deal of trouble to the management. 
I visited the Baroda Zoological Garden on May 31 and 
June 1, 1913, and on the second of these days a large 
number of the staff seemed occupied in trying to get a 
langur out of a deep dry pit into which it had fallen. 
There is a “ monkey tree ” here, arranged on the same 
principle as the one in the Jaipur Bam-Newas Gardens, but 
with only three kennels, each occupied by a Bonnet Monkey, 
Macaciis sinicus {see footnote on p. 96), and in a cage 
by itself in the Monkey House there is a large male monkey 
with pale yellow hair, the hair becoming almost golden yellow 
on its head, which appears to be a variety of this same species, 
Macacus sinicus^ a very handsome variety that I do not 
remember ever having seen a specimen of before. The colour 
of its irides is normal brown. Except for its wonderful colour, 
it agreed with the Indian Macacus sinicus, and not with such 
few specimens as I have seen of the Ceylon Toque Monkey, 
M acacus pileatus. It may be mentioned that this remarkable 
animal was labelled “ Yellow Baboon, Africa.” 
There is a very fine open air enclosure for lions at Baroda, 
well over 240 feet (73T5 metres) in circumference. The 
iron fence surrounding it is of the same pattern as that of 
the lion and tiger enclosure in the Bombay Zoological 
Garden {see p. 48).- 
The most valuable animal in this collection was a Malay 
Tapir, Tapirus indicus, which Avas sharing a paddock Avith 
* There was actually an African Yellow Baboon in the Baroda Zoological Garden.
