An Infant Baboon.


The following curious account of baboon

work, by Nj. Boitard, for Goodrch's lllustra-
ted Natural History:
There have been and still are i'm the mcnag.
erie of the Garden of Plants, Paris, u number
OF baboons and four years ago, female who
had young one furnished one of the most
amusing and singular sprctuclcs ever wit
messed. She was placed with it in cage,
near the one she formerly occupied with sew
erai other animals of the same species The
infant baboon YVES hidcouSly ugly, bu. she Law
lShed upon it the most tender carcsscs. when
1t was eight days old, the door of cummunca.
ton was opened, and her male entered. The
mother, seated in the middle of the cagc. held
the young heir in her arms, precisely as a
nurse would do under similar circumstances.
The happy father approached and embraced
his mate with French gallantrv upon each side
OF the face; he then Kissed the little one.
and sat down opposite to the mother, so that
their knees touched each other They then
both began to move their lips with rapidity.
taking the young one from each others arms,
as it they were having most animated con
vcrsatlun concerning it,
The door was again opened, and the bab-
oon friends entered one after another, each
embracing the mother, who, however, would
not allow them to touch the Young one. Thcv
seated themselves in Il circle and moved their
lips, as if fclicitating the happy couple ON the
arrival OF the sou and heir, and perhaps find
ing in it marvellous resemblance to either
the father or mother This scene was very
much like that which often takes place in
