It is usually assumed that the production of baryons in $B$ meson decays isinduced primarily by the quark level process $b\to c\bar ud$, where the charmquark hadronizes into a charmed baryon. With this assumption, the $\Lambda_c$momentum spectrum would indicate that the transition $B\to\Lambda_c X$ isdominated by multi-body $B$ decays. However, a closer examination of themomentum spectrum reveals that the mass $m_X$ against which the $\Lambda_c$ isrecoiling almost always satisfies $m_X\agt m_{\Xi_c}$. This fact leads us toexamine the hypothesis that the production of charmed baryons in $B$ decays isin fact dominated by the underlying transition $b\to c\bar cs$, and is seenprimarily in modes with two charmed baryons in the final state. We propose anumber of tests of this hypothesis. If this mechanism is indeed important inbaryon production, then there are interesting consequences and applications,including potentially important implications for the ``charm deficit'' in $B$decays.Comment: 9 pages, 3 uuencoded figures included, uses REVTeX, preprint nos.
