PLATE III. ORANG-UTAN DISTINGUISHED FOR HIS ERECT WALK. 

 This orang-utan is about four years old, and Mr. Edwards believes that he 

 was caught when very young and must have been a household pet in a 

 native family in the Malay Archipelago where he was a playmate of the 

 children from whom he acquired at a tender age some human habits, espe- 

 cially his erect posture which is unusually straight and which he can keep 

 up longer than any other simian.
