are to be found in museums ; but they are of little use, and 
by no means calculated to produce pleasurable sensations. 
We may safely predict, that no method will ever be dis- 
covered, by which Man can be preserved, so as to be fit for 
placing in a Museum. 
ORDER IlL—QUADRUMANA. 
The animals which approach nearest to Man, are the nu 
_ merous tribes of Apes and Monkeys, and their congeners, 
APES AND MONKEYS. 
One of the chief difficulties to contend with, in setting up 
Monkeys and Apes, is the preservation of their hands, and 
hind hands, or what are commonly called their feet ; because 
we must not attempt to deprive these limbs of their flesh, as 
we never could again supply its place, any thing like what it 
isin nature. The hand must therefore be dried, and then well 
imbued with turpentine, and the solution of corrosive sublimate, 
repeated eight or ten times at least, at intervals of four or five 
days. The other parts of the stuffing should be exactly similar 
to that recommended for quadrupeds generally. The paws of 
several will require to be coloured with the different varnishes, 
and, when dry, slightly polished with fine sand paper, to 
remove the gloss. The eallosities, on the hinder parts of many 
of them, will also require to be coloured, and treated in the 
same way as the face. We may instance the Mandrill ( Cyn- 
ocephalus Marmon), the Atys Monkey ( Cercopithecus Atys), 
the Fair Monkey (Jacchus Argentatus), and others.

extremities, and even the fingers and tail. This membrane |
