The Anatomy of a T YG Ml E, 17 



The Shoulders are fpread and large, the Thorax or Breaji extended al- 

 together like a Mans^ the M.amm£ and Teats the fame 5 the Belly was 

 lank and pinch'd in, not prominent, by reafon of it's illnefs, but here 

 it held a more proportionable breadth to a M.an%^ than a ^adruped's. 

 The A;!7/x were longc-r than inaMrf», and fo were the Pi?/^?^ of the 

 Hands ; but the Thumb was much lefs, the Nails exadtly like a Man's ^ 

 and the Nn-Jil the fame. The Penk was different, as we fhall hereafter 

 fhevv. Here was no Scrotum, but the Teftes were contained in the Re- 

 gion of the Pubk under the Skin, which made it here more protuberant. 

 The Thighs and Legs wereTomewhat divaricated or ftradling, for v/ant 

 of ftrength, either from it's illnefs, or being but young. We obferved 

 Calves in it's Legs , the Feet long, as likewife the Toes, which were liker 

 Fingers ; and the Great Toe exa(5tly like a Thumh^ more than that on the 

 Hand. 



The Second Figure reprefents the hinder Parts of this Creature, in an 

 Ereft Pofture likewife. Where may be obferved, the Giobous Figure 

 and largenefs of the Head, with theE^rj- (landing off; the curious (liape 

 and ftraitnefs of the Back_, and how it fpreads. At the Os Coxygk there 

 is a little Protuberance, but nothing like a Tail. 



In this Figure I have reprefented him with the Fingers of one Hand 

 bended, as if kneeling upon his Knuckles, to fhew the Aftion, when 

 he goes on all four : For the Palms of his Hands never touch the Ground, 

 but when he walks as a ^tadruped, 'tis only upon his Knuckles. The 

 other Hand is holding a Rope, to fhew his Climbing ; for he will nimbly 

 run up the Tackle of a Ship, or climb a Tree : And having this hold, 

 he is the better fupported, to fhew the Sole of the left Foot, and the Heel 

 there 5 on account of which Heel it may be thought a Foot : But the 

 Great Toe being fet off fo far from the range of the others, and they all 

 being fo large and long, it more refembles a Hand, as has been obferved. 



If we compare our Figures with thofe given by Tulpiuf, Boniim, and 

 Gefizer, we fhall find a great difference. That of Tulpius feems the mod 

 Natural 5 but being made fitting, it does not fo well reprefent the Pro- 

 portions of the feveral Parts. The Chaps or Rofirum is longer, and 'tis 

 lefs hairy in the fore-parts than ours. The Mamm£ are larger and pen- 

 dulous, and the Belly more protuberant. Dapper, (30) in his Defcrip- 

 tion of Africa, has borrowed this Figure from Tulpim, without nafning 

 him, as likewife his Defiription, which is the fame. For avoiding the 

 often quoting it, I will here Tranfcribe Tulpir^s's Account : But why I 

 think it not a Satyr, as he and Dapper make it, I v/ill give my Reafons in 

 the follovpmg Effay. Tulpim his words are thefe : (31)
