44 J. Wyman on the Engé-ena. 
It does not appear that any other bones of the skeleton have as 
yet fallen into the hands of any European naturalist. A descri 
tion of some of the more important of them will be found in the 
memoir above referred to,* in which it will be seen that there are 
two anthropoid features of some importance, which go to support 
the view advanced by Prof. Owen, and these are the comparative 
length of the humerus and ulna, the former being seventeen and 
the latter only fourteen inches, and in the proportions of the pel- 
vis. This last is of gigantic size, - is a little shorter in pro- 
portion to its breadth than in 7". nig 
While the proportions of the icine and the ulna are more 
nearly human than in the Chimpanzée, those of the humerus and 
femur recede much farther from the human proportions than they 
do in the = as will be seen by the following meas- 
urements 
Humerus, Femur. 
Man, ‘ ; 150 ; 
Chimpanzée, . , 10°9 : ; ‘ 11-0 
Engé-ena, ‘ i 17-0 ‘ . : 14:0 
Thus in man the femur is three inches longer than the hume- 
rus, in the Chimpanzée, these bones are nearly of the same length, 
aud iu the Engé-ena the humerus is three inches longer than the 
femur, indicating on the part of the Engé-ena a less perfect adapt- 
ation to locomotion in the erect position than in the Chimpanzee. 
Description of a canine tooth of a male E'n- 
gé-ena.—In only one of the crania of the male 
Engé-enas which I have seen were the canines 
remaining ; and these were so much abraded 
that they had lost to a great extent, their natural 
outline, and a eae their most striking 
and distineti tive marks. In the females, as in 
sent to this cone by Dr. Savage, was the | 
canine tooth represented in the annexed fig- | 
ure, which [ was not able to identify, until an 
opportunity occurred of comparing it with Prof. 
escriptions of more perfect teeth. 
The crown is laterally compressed, the poste- 
rior edge being trenchant and its base provided 
i a prominent tubercle, which is doubtless 
red more conspicuous by the wear 
the edge beneath it. On its inner surface the 
crown is impressed with two strongly marked 
poorest, which extend from the base r
