THE MAMMALS OF EGYPT. 
P. heuglini the muzzle immediately before and under the orbits is broader than in a 
specimen of P. doguera preserved in the Munich Museum, but only by a few milli¬ 
metres. However, in the male skull from Abyssinia in the Frankfort Museum, 
collected by Eiippell (which, from its general characters, may unquestionably be 
referred to P. doguera^ a fact that is substantiated by its skin), the base of this part of 
the muzzle is considerably broader than in the Munich skull of P. doguera and broader 
than in the type of P. heuglini, so that this portion of the skull in P. doguera is 
evidently subject to considerable variation. In the type of P. heuglini the length of 
the flattened portion of the face before the orbits [i. e. from the inferior border of the 
orbits to the end of the nasals) measures 66 mm., and in P. doguera 62 mm., whereas 
in Kiippeirs specimen referable to the latter species it is 69 mm. in length. 
In the Munich skull the posterior palatine foramina are separated from the posterior 
border of the palate by a much narrower interval than in P. heuglini, in which a wide 
interval exists between these points. But in the skull of the baboon in the Frankfort 
Museum from Abyssinia collected by Eiippell, the breadth of this interspace nearly equals 
that of P. heuglini. In the Munich skull the interval is only 16 mm., in P. heuglini 
20 mm., and in the Frankfort skull 19'6 mm. It is thus evident that no importance can 
be attached to this character. In the three foregoing specimens the upper line of the 
premolars and molars is, in all, 54 mm. in length ; and the lower line, consisting of the 
2nd premolar and molars, is as follows:—P. doguera (Munich) 49 mm., P. heuglini 
51 mm., and in the Frankfort skull 51 mm. In P. doguera the third lower molar is 
16 mm. long, in P. heuglini 17 mm., and in the Frankfort specimen of P. doguera 
16 mm. 
In P. doguera the third inner cusp of the third lower molar is well-developed, 
as also in P. heiiglini and in Eiippell’s specimen, so that this tooth, which usually 
yields some recognizable character when a species is well marked, is alike in all these 
skulls. They show, however, that even in them this cusp is variable, as on the left 
side of P. heuglini it is broken up into two sections, while on the left side of Euppell’s 
P. doguera it is distinctly smaller than on the right side.

This specimen has externally the features of P. doguera, but it is much more 
brilliant yellowish brown, almost golden, especially on the hinder quarters and on the 
hind limbs. The basal part of the fur is reddish brown, the subapical band rather 
rich yellow, and the apex black. The sides of the face are sparsely covered with short 
greyish or greyish-yellow hairs, which, as they become longer externally to and below 
the eyes, have a distinct yellow sheen; on the sides of the head and below and anterior 
to the ears the hairs throughout are more or less yellowish grey, without any of the
