PHYSICAL TRAITS 23 



She was a typical "whiteface" specimen, presumably Pan 

 chimpanse (Meyer). Her coat was black, but notably coarser 

 and more sparse than that of Chim. The hair was less abun- 

 dant and extended less far forward on the head than in his 

 case. Panzee 's orbital ridges carried only a few hairs, whereas 

 his are thickly covered. Her ears also were entirely hairless 

 and unUke his were large and conspicuous because standing 

 out markedly from the head. At the base of her spine there 

 was a semi-circular tuft of white hair 2 to 3 inches in length, 

 thus contrasted with the small black anal tuft in the male. 

 Nothing peculiar was observed in the limb and trunk pelage 

 of the female. The sides of Panzee 's face, like Chim 's, were 

 covered with hair, but more thinly, so that her white skin 

 showed conspicuously. On her lips and chin the hairs were 

 sparse, short and entirely white. 



Panzee 's eyes were light brown, large, surrounded by a 

 considerable area of white sclera and extremely expressive. 

 Whereas his eyes are rendered inconspicuous by the lack of 

 contrast with his skin, hers were emphasized because her skin 

 was almost white and her eyes a beautiful brown. 



Panzee 's head was larger than Chim 's, decidedly broader, 

 but with receding forehead and with a much more prolonged 

 face. Her body was smaller. The most conspicuous differ- 

 ences in physique, apart from skin color, were in the charac- 

 teristics of face and head. Hers was a typical chimpanzee 

 facial angle and expression; his that of the Kooloo kamba as 

 described by Du Chaillu. 



The lips of Panzee differed in appearance as well as use from 

 those of Chim. Her upper lip was strong and conspicuous. 

 Her lower lip was still more pronounced, protruding ordina- 

 rily beyond the upper lip and being used habitually to hold 

 food while she was eating. Chim 's lips, in addition to being
