««« The natives asserted the animal to be a small one, but I am scep- 
tical of their ever attaining the growth of a tall man, though I bear 
in mind that full-grown animals will probably differ as much in height 
as man.’ 
« Some days after this, and about thirty miles distant, I was fortu- 
nate enough to kill two adult females (one with her young), and a 
male nearly adult, all the Mias Kassar. The young male was not 
measured, owing to my having waded up to my neck in pursuit of 
him, and thereby destroyed my paper and lost my measure; but he 
certainly did not exceed three feet, whilst the two females were about 
3ft. lin. and 3ft. 2in. in height. The male was just cutting his two 
posterior molars: the colour of all resembled that of the Mias Pap- 
pan, but the difference between the two animals was apparent even 
to our seamen. The Kassar has no callosities either on the male or 
female, whereas the young Pappans despatched by the Martin Luther 
(one of them not a year old, with two first molars) show them pro- 
minently. The great difference between the Kassar and the Pappan 
in size would prove at once the distinction of the two species, the 
Kassar being a small slight animal, by no means formidable in his 
appearance, with hands and feet proportioned to the body, and they 
do not approach the gigantic extremities of the Pappan either in size 
or power ; and, in short, a moderately powerful man would readily 
overpower one, when he would not stand the shadow of a chance 
with the Pappan. Besides these decisive differences, may be men- 
tioned the appearance of the face, which in the Mias Kassar is more 
prominent in the lower part, and the eyes exteriorly larger, in pro- 
portion to the size of the animal, than in the Pappan. ‘The colour 
of the skin in the adult Pappans is black, whilst the Kassar, in his 
face and hands, has the dirty colour common to the young of both
