PAPIO ANUBIS.

Paris Museum. 
Type of Cynocephalus doguera, Schimper, Cat. No. 317 a; Pucheran & Schimper^ K-ev. et Mag. 
Zool. ser. 2, viii. 1856j p. 96; Pucheran, ibid. ix. 1857, p. 250. 
In the Paris Museum there is a fine example of P. doguera, adult male, bearing the 
following label:—“ Cynocephalus doguera (Puch.). Type, M. Schimper, Abyssinie.” 
On the under surface of the stand the following occurs:—“ Cynocephalus doguera 
(Pucheran) Abyssinie,” also “ d’Abyssinie acquis au Musee de Strasburg, en 1893^ 
(1853 V). Cat. No. 439.” Skull in specimen. 
There is a second specimen, a female, bearing the following label:—“ Cynocephalus 
doguera (Puch.). Type M. Schimper, Abyssinie ” ; on the under surface of the stand, 
in ink, “ (J. T.) M. Schimper No. rouge 438.” This specimen was also obtained 
from the Strasburg Museum. 
These specimens have the following measurements:—Snout to vent, s 950 mm., 
$ 670; vent to tip of tail (without terminal hairs), 6 560, $ 470; height at shoulder, 
C? 570, $ 460. 
In the male the hairs on the shoulder are about 140 mm. long, on the hind-quarters 
40 to 50, in front of the chest 10 to 100, above the elbow 80 to 90, on the back of 
the thighs 50 to 60, above the wrist 30 to 40, above the ankles from 50 to 60, at the 
tip of tail 70 to 80. This specimen has not the bright colour of that in Munich 
Museum, but it does not differ, so far as I can make out, from the specimen in the 
Stuttgart Museum from the Shilluk Islands. 
The lower half of the fore limbs tends to become black, with an intermixture of 
yellow, but on the hands the colour is almost wholly black. The upper surfaces of 
the hind feet are less black and the lower half of the tibial portion is concolorous with 
the upper part. The portion of the fore limb externally between the elbow and the 
dark area below it, and the outside of the thighs, have a greyish tinge. In this baboon 
the greatest degree of yellow is on the head; the greatest amount of black is developed 
on the front of the shoulders and chest and on the inner side of the fore limbs; the 
hairs immediately behind the mouth are greyish, but further back they are brownish. 
The female is decidedly more yellowish than the male, more especially on the limbs. 
1 [Dr. Anderson came to regard this date as a clerical error, this conclusion being the result of his 
correspondence on the subject with Professor L. Ddderlein, Conservator and Director of the Strasburg 
Museum since 1882, and with the late Professor A. Milne-Edwards, who made careful research into the 
matter. The latter replied that “in 1853 (not 1893) the Museum of Paris had acquired from the Museum 
of Strasburg, through the intermediary of Schimper (a cousin of the Governor of Tigre of the same name), 
then Conservator of the Natural History Cabinet of Strasburg, two examples of Cynocephalus doguera : a male 
fully adult, which was immediately placed in the Galleries, and a female of which the skin had remained 
put away in the ‘ Magasins.’ Pucheran, when he described the ‘ Doguera,’ had neglected to search the 
drawers of these ‘ Magasins ’; and so it happened that, much later, this skin was prepared and placed beside 
the male in the Gallery. The male specimen is certainly the type described by Pucheran.”— G. S. A.]
