THE MAN-LIKE APES. 

 THE CHIMPANZEE. 



OF all the great apes the CHIMPANZEE most closely approaches 

 man in bodily structure and appearance, although in height 

 it is less near the human standard than the gorilla, 5 feet 

 being probably that of an adult male. 



Several races of this ape are known, among them the TRUE 

 CHIMPANZEE and the BALD CHIMPANZEE. The varieties also include 

 the Kulo-kamba, described by Du Chaillu, and the Soko, discovered 

 by Livingstone, who confounded it with the gorilla. But the 

 variations in neither of these are sufficiently important to justify 

 their being ranked as species. 



The first authentic mention of the chimpanzee is found in 

 " The Strange Adventures of Andrew Battell," an English sailor 

 taken prisoner by the Portuguese in 1590, who lived eighteen 

 years near Angola. He speaks of two apes, the Pongo and 

 the Enjocko, of which the former is the gorilla, the latter the 

 chimpanzee. The animal was first seen in Europe in 1641, and 

 described scientifically fifty-eight years later, but we are indebted
