DOG-TAILED, AND WRINKLED BABOON. 2B

the East Indies and the hotter parts of Africa. 
There was one shewn in London some years ago, 
excessively fierce and ill-natured. 
The negroes set a great value on the skins of

appear different from the hare-lipped monkey, to 
which, except in having a short tail, it is also 
allied : its face is flesh coloured ; the callosities 
behind, and the neighbouring space of a blood- 
red, and marked with strong wrinkles. The up**
