MAN AND APES. 161 



Most of the Gibbons, again, resemble man 

 more than do the Orang, Chimpanzee, or 

 Gorilla, or than many of the lower Simiadce, 

 in the absence of large saccular dilatations, or 

 pouches, in connection with the larynx. 



The shape of the stomach is more human 

 in the Gibbons than in the other broad-breast- 

 boned apes. 



The Orang has been said to have no uvula, 

 but, as Professor Flower has pointed out, it 

 is present, though disguised by the extent of 

 development of adjacent membrane. 



In man and in all Primates the large 

 intestine gives off a considerable blind off- 

 shoot (the ccecum), which has attached to it a 

 singular little worm-like process, called the 

 vermiform appendix. This is not found in any 

 apes other than the Simiince, and its develop- 

 ment is most like man in the Gibbons. 



It may be well now to recapitulate and 

 group together the characters in and by 

 which different apes and Half-apes resemble 

 and differ from man.
