It still remains to notice an Orang to which reference has already 

 been made, and which has been announced, by Professor Owen, as 

 a distinct species, under the title of Simia Morio, though solely upon 

 characters derived from a unique skull in his possession. (See Proc. 

 Zool. Soc. Oct. 25th, 1836; and, also, Trans. Zool. Soc., 1838, c. 

 fig. cran.) This species will stand thus, in the present series of the 

 Quadrumana.
