Head rather flattened above, but little arched; forehead receding. Body compact, 
stout; tail not tufted, about two-thirds the length of the body. Ears not sharply 
pointed, more or less quadrangular, hinder margin straight; face long and black, paler 
(almost livid greyish) below the eyes, at some distance behind the angle of the mouth, 
and below and in front of the ears. Upper eyelids whitish, lower eyelids much less 
so ; skin of ears black anteriorly, except in front of the tragus, and posteriorly, with 
the exception of the lower third which is whitish. Bare area around the callosities, and 
the callosities themselves, livid greyish purple. Under surface of the hands and feet 
black; throat and rest of the skin whitish. General colour rather rich yellow and 
dark brownish black, the two colours being more or less grouped irregularly over the 
trunk in small irregular areas, producing an appearance as if the animal were blotched 
or washed with yellow and blackish. The two colours are considerably less vivid in 
adults than in the young. The yellow is brighter on the hinder parts of the body 
and on the outsides of the hind limbs than elsewhere. On the limited area of the 
vertex and on the limbs the general aspect is speckled yellow and brownish black, 
not blotched with those colours. The under side of the trunk is more or less speckled 
yellow and blackish brown, the hair being moderately profuse in the male, whereas in 
the female the chest and belly are rather sparsely clad. The yellow colour is less 
pronounced on the front of the limbs, especially of the fore limbs which are finely 
speckled yellow and blackish, uniformly so in many specimens (young and adolescents 1) 
to the ends of the digits, whilst in others (adult males X) the upper surface of the hands 
and feet lose the speckling and become nearly uniformly blackish. The tail is speckled 
pale yellow and blackish brown, and is consequently somewhat of a greyish-olive colour. 
The shoulders in the adult male are clad with long hair, nearly uniform in length, 
without the long straggling hairs characteristic of P. cynocephalus, Linn.; whereas on 
the sacral region the hair is much shorter, but in no way comparable to the cropped- 
like hair of P. hamadryas. In the adult male the hair on the vertex varies from 61 
to 76 mm. in length, on the shonlders from 120 to 137 mm., on the pectoral region from 
80 to 95 mm., on the sacral region from 40 to 58 mm., on the outsides of the thighs
