OUB ACQUAINTANCE WITH ANTHEOPOID APES. 9 



Museum in Paris as late as 1842 (67). There is a 

 beautiful illustration of a young female which lived 

 in the menagerie of the Jardin des Plantes in Paris 

 in 1838 in the catalogue of this noble institution 

 (68). This illustration, in which the animal is re- 

 presented on all fours, has since been frequently 

 copied. Copies have also been made of the drawings 

 of the same individual in a walking position, and 

 swinging by one arm, which originally appeared in 

 Velins' famous catalogue of the Museum of Paris. 

 Is. Geoffrey Saint-Hilaire and Dahlbom have given 

 good illustrations of the head and body of an old 

 male chimpanzee (69). Numerous, and for the most 

 part correct, pictures of the chimpanzee have been 

 given in several modern works and illustrated papers 

 (70). Undoubtedly the best representations of the 

 chimpanzee, corrected from photographs taken from 

 life, are found in my osteological treatise on the 

 gorilla which appeared in 1880, and also in the 

 little book which preceded it (71). The form and 

 mode of life of this species of ape are fairly well 

 described by BischofF (72), as well as in the books 

 already mentioned, and especially in those by Tem- 

 minck (73), Gervais, Reichenbach, and Brehm. 

 Recently the opportunities of describing the bodies 

 of chimpanzees have been frequent. Remarks on the 

 anatomy of this animal may also be found in the 

 works of Tyson (11), Vrolik (74), Champneys (75), 

 Briihl (76), and Schroeder van der Kolk and 

 Vrolik (77), as well as in the works we have already 

 mentioned by Owen, Duvernoy, Bischoff, Issel, Gig- 

 lioli, Lenz, etc. Du Ghaillu (26), Duvernoy (78),
