178 MR. F. E. BEDDAED— CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE 



coloration of " Sally " just after her arrival. The brain was carefully extracted and 

 preserved in alcohol, and the muscles, after being soaked in alcohol, were kept in 

 spirit vapour before being dissected. On opening the abdominal cavity the contained 

 viscera were found to be extensively diseased, so much so that I have not attempted 

 any description of them : so far as I could see, there were no differences from the 

 Common Chimpanzee ; I thought it would be worse than useless to give any accurate 

 measurements and description. In the liver, for instance, there may be differences in 

 the proportions of the lobes from the Chimpanzee ; but, as the organ was greatly 

 enlarged and had undergone fatty degeneration, it would obviously be misleading to 

 give any measurements ; its general form was, so far as I could judge, in no way 

 different from that of the liver of the Chimpanzee as described by Prof. Flower in his 

 published lectures upon the organs of digestion in the mammalian series \ Peritonitis 

 was so extensive that the intestines were greatly matted together. The lungs also 

 were diseased and were adherent to the pleural cavity. The bones of the vertebral 

 column were diseased, being very friable. The muscles were somewhat wasted and 

 there was no fat upon the body. The skin was preserved, and has been stuffed by 

 Mr. GeiTard, Jun. ; it has been purchased by the Hon. Walter Rothschild for the 

 Tring Museum. 



II. External Chaeacters and Anatomy of Troglodytes calvus. 



When the Ape first arrived at the Society's Gardens she was, as I infer from the 

 teeth characters, about two years old ; she was purchased from Mr. Cross, of Liverpool, 

 in 1883. Two years after she had been in the Gardens, a notice of the principal 

 external characters and of the habits by Mr. Bartlett appeared in the ' Proceedings ' ', 

 illustrated by a coloured plate of the head and shoulders. The principal features to 

 which Mr. Bartlett called attention as distinguishing this animal from Troglodytes niger 

 were more evident at the time of her death. The face is quite black, as is also the hair 

 covering the body. The hair on the top of the head only extends for a short distance 

 in front of the level of the ears ; on the sides of the face there is a scanty growth on the 

 temporal region and on the cheeks ; the chin is sparsely covered with short hairs, many 

 of which are white, and there is also a still more sparse growth of short, chiefly white, 

 hairs upon the upper lip. From the prominent supraciliary ridges spring the long 

 scattered black hairs of the eyebrows, Avhich do not meet in the middle line. 



§1. The Ear. 

 The accompanying drawing (Plate XXVIII. fig. 3) shows the right ear of the natural 

 size J the drawing was made immediately after the animal's death. It may be compared
