Pigtail baboon. 
This species is easily distinguished by its fail, 
which is four inches long, slender, and exactly 
like a pig's. Its face is of a swarthy redness, 
and somewhat pointed. It has ears like those 
of the human body ; its eyes are of a hazel co- 
lour. It has two sharp canine teeth ; the crown 
of the head dusky ; the hair on the limbs and 
body brown, inclining to an ash colour, but 
palest on the belly. Its fingers are black ; its 
nails long and flat. The thumbs on its hind feet 
are very long, and connected to the nearest toe 
by a broad membrane. Its length from head to 
tail is twenty-two inches. Though full of viva- 
city, it has none of that impudent petulance 
peculiar to the other baboons ; but is gentle, 
tractable, and even caressing. It is found in 
Sumatra and Japan. In the latter country, it is 
taught tricks and carried about by mountebanks
