SIMIA. 6 



the skin of the face and of the great bare area on the 

 guttural sacks being livid black. The skin of the face is 

 sparsely covered with short red hairs, and the forehead also 

 is almost naked. The sides of the upper lip and the 

 chin are clad with long bright maroon-red hairs. The hair 

 on the middle of the head, immediately behind the fore- 

 head, is rather short, while that over the temporal and parie- 

 tal regions is long and directed forwards. On the rest of the 

 head the hair is dark maroon-black, this colour also extending 

 round the sides of the neck and on to the throat. Between the 

 shoulders the colour is more rufous, whilst down the back it is 

 almost as dark as the headj the sides being also maroon-red, 

 as well as the shoulders, the arms being almost red, and thus 

 paler than every other part of the body. The lower portions 

 of the thorax and the abdomen are dark maroon-red. The 

 legs are almost as pale as the arms. The hair on the body 

 generally and on the limbs is very long, measuring as much 

 as 13 to 14 inches. 



The skull has a well-developed sagittal and lambdoidal 

 ridge, and the orbital ridges are also well marked, and the 

 malo-maxillary area is broad. The facial portion slopes well 

 forwards, also the interorbital area, in which the nasals are 

 tolerably well developed. The orbits are large and more or 

 less rounded. The canines are large, and their ridges very 

 prominent. The dentition is complete, and the molars are 

 large, and also the front upper incisors, which, however, are 

 much ground down. The palate is oblong and deep. The 

 lower jaw is very powerful and heavy, and the canines are 

 large. The right tooth, however, is broken across, but its 

 root is so long that it is visible on the lower aspect of the 

 symphysis. 



This Orang, as stated by its donor, Mr. Rutledge, arrived 

 at Singapore in a native craft from Borneo, along with 

 some other Orangs. Presented by Wm. Rutledge, Esq., 8th 

 November 1880.
