 obtained from the Middle Miocene of St. Gaudens (Haute- 

 Garonne), France, and is preserved in the Paris Museum. 

 It is figured by Lartet in the memoir cited, and also by 

 Gervais in the second edition of the ' Zoologie et Paleon- 

 tologie Frangaises,' p. 8. The specimen probably belonged 

 to a female, and is "of the same size as the existing 

 Chimpanzee, though in dental characters more resembling 

 the Gorilla." Purchased, 1867.
