2. Suborder Anthropoidea.
A. Cynomorpha.
1. Cynocephalus.—The baboons have a well-developed capacious cæcum. The apex of the pouch is usually blunt and rounded, or only slightly pointed. The cæcum is sacculated, conforming in structure to the rest of the large intestine. Two low vascular folds or ridges, a ventral and a dorsal, carry the ventral and dorsal cæcal branches of the ileo-colic artery. The intermediate non-vascular fold is large, frequently fused with the dorsal vascular fold (cf. [p. 264]).
Figs. 427-433 show the structures in Cynocephalus sphinx, porcarius, babuin, anubis and in Cercopithecus pogonias, sabæus and campbellii.
