8 MAMMALIA. 



basi-oeeipital, tbe foramen for the front pair of nerves beingf 

 almost wholly obliterated on that side, whereas two large fora- 

 mina occur on the anterior and external aspect at the front, 

 where the atlas has CDalesced with the condyle at the skull. 



ThemammEe and teats of this animal were greatly enlarged, 

 and it was stated that she had given birth to a young one on 

 the voyage up to Calcutta from Singapore. Mr. Fraser, who 

 examined this Orang at its death, has recorded in the Museum . 

 Register that she had distinct indications of cheek swellings.

h. A stuffed adult female, its skull and the bones of its 

 trunk. This female exactly resembled the female e in its 

 dark mai'oon, almost blackish long hair, directed forwards on 

 the head. The face, like the foregoing, was blackish in life, 

 and the eyes were small and brown, and no white sclerotic was 

 visible. It was received in Calcutta, nursing a very young 

 animal, said to have been its own child, and which is separately 

 described. 



The orbits are large and erectly oval. The interorbital area 

 slopes forwards, as in tbe previous skulls, but the nasal area 

 is not nearly so depressed as in them, and the muzzle is longer. 

 From the upper end of the nasals, to the anterior border of the 

 foramen magnum, is 3"'50, and from the latter to the tip of the 

 maxillary, measures 5" 20. No temporal ridges, beyond a faint 

 line on each side, indicating the attachment of the muscle 

 and posteriorly converging on the parietals to within 0''35 of 

 each other. The front upper incisors are much smaller than 

 in the foregoing skull, and the molars are also less, and the 

 palate is deeper. In the lower jaw there is a well-developed 

 supernumerary molar on each side. 



This individual had doubtless spent all its days in a wild 

 state, dying shortly after its capture. Presented by W 

 Rutledge, Esq., 7th April 1877. 



/. The flat skin and skeleton of the young of the previous 

 individual. The hair on the body was sparse and bright ferru- 

 ginous ; dark maroon on the head, and long and directed 

 forwards. 



This animal had cut only its first incisors and first bicuspids 

 in the upper jaw. The fontanelle is closed, but the remains 

 of the almost obliterated suture form a permanent raised line. 

 This young animal died the same day as its mother. Present- 

 ed by W. Rutledge, Esq., 7th Apriri877. 



.;. The skin and skull, and bones of the trunk of an adult 

 female like the preceding adult, but with somewhat shorter 

 hair. The skull has all its teeth, but it is much smaller than
