346 Kneeland on the Skeleton of the Great Chimpanzée 
jaw, and many of the long bones show by their broken condi- 
tion that he was killed only after a severe struggle, and with 
many a wound both from bullet and cutting instrument. 
The height of this specimen must have been nearly five 
and a half feet, and the breadth of his shoulders, judging 
from the scapule and ribs, over two feet ; the hands extend a 
little below the knees; the abdomen, judging from the iliac 
fosse, must be nearly two feet wide; the lower extremities 
are strongly bowed. If we clothe this immense skeleton with 
its powerful muscles and its coarse hairy covering, we may 
have an idea of a monster which it would be more pleasant 
to read about and describe than to meet. 
A table of measurements (in inches) has been adde com- 
paring this specimen with those of Dr. Wyman; those be- 
longing to the former occupying the first column, and the 
latter the other two.
