THE GOBILIiA. This king of the African forests is tound only in the deepest fastnesses of Equatorial Africa (15 degrees north and 



15 degrees south of the equator) and no adult of this family has been held in captivity, its great strength and ferocity preventing its capture 

 alive. Several young Gorillas have been taken but did not long survive contact vfith Man. The artist presents the animal as it is seen in its 

 native forest with its terrible face, huge canine teeth, broad shoulders, great chest and immense hands, intently alert that no enemy may 

 surprise it, and prepared tor any emergency. Unarmed Man, the Leopard and the Crocodile are no match for this formidable creature, before 

 which even the Lion might tremble. (Gorilla gini.)
