220 ANTHROPOID APES. 



Wyman, Trolodytes Kooh-Kamba, which appears to 

 be ill-established. 



An attempt has been made, chiefly by the 

 unlearned, to regard Paulina as the image of Mafuca. 

 There is, however, a considerable physiognomical 

 difference between the two animals. For me and 

 many other naturalists Mafuca remains up to this 

 time an enigma, which is slurred over by others with 

 the help of a few phrases. Paulina, on the other 

 hand, and animals of the same character, display 

 much to remind us of the illustration given by 

 Gratiolet and Alix of their . Troglodytes Avhryi, 

 although the drawing was taken from a specimen 

 dissected by the French naturalists which had lost its 

 hair through maceration in an impure preserving 

 fluid. The growth or the lack of hair involves 

 considerable external differences in specimens of 

 these animals, yet I repeat my assertion that there 

 is a resemblance between Paulina and her fellows, 

 and Aubry's chimpanzee. 



The certain special characters presented by chim- 

 panzee forms here mentioned (Paulina and Trog- 

 lodytes Auhryi) remind us of the bam found on the 

 Niam-Niam in Central Africa, which was probably 

 first discovered by A. de Malzac, and was after- 

 wards more exactly described by Schweinfurth. 



In Cassell's Natural History (i. 39) the Nschiego- 

 Mbouve (Troglodytes Tschego Duvernoy ; Troglodytes 

 calvus Du Ghaillu et Wyman), is described and 

 drawn by Duncan, but only in profile, from a stuffed 

 specimen. In this there is much to remind us of 

 the profile of Mafuca, including the very shrivelled
