The habitat of the Engé-ena is the interior of lower Guinea, 
whilst that of the Enché-eko is nearer the sea-board. 
Its height is about five feet; it is disproportionately broad 
across the shoulders, thickly covered with coarse black hair, 
which is said to be similar in its arrangement to that of the 
Enché-eko ; with age it becomes gray, which fact has given 
rise to the report that both animals are seen of different 
colours. 
Head.—The prominent features.of the head are, the great 
width and elongation of the face, the depth of the molar region, 
the branches of the lower jaw being very deep and extending 
far backward, and the comparative smallness of the cranial 
portion; the eyes are very large, and said to be like those 
of the Enché-eko, a bright hazel; nose broad and flat, slightly 
elevated towards the root; the muzzle broad, and prominent 
lips and chin, with scattered gray hairs; the under lip highly 
mobile, and capable of great elongation when the animal is 
enraged, then hanging over the chin ; skin of the face and 
ears naked, and of a dark brown, approaching to black. 
The most remarkable feature of the head is a high ridge, 
or crest of hair, in the course of the sagittal suture, which 
meets posteriorly with a transverse ridge of the same, but less 
prominent, running round from the back of one ear to the 
other. The animal has the power of moving the scalp freely 
forward and back, and when enraged is said to contract it 
strongly over the brow, thus bringing down the hairy ridge 
and pointing the hair forward, so as to present an indescri- 
bably ferocious aspect. 
Neck short, thick, and hairy; chest and shoulders very 
broad, said to be fully double the size of the Enché-ekos ; 
arms very long, reaching some way below the knee—the 
fore-arm much the shortest; hands very large, the thumbs 
much larger than the fingers. ... . 
The gait is shuffling; the motion of the body, which is
