suppose Dr. Kneeland refers when lie mentions " the narrow elon- 

 gated shape of the Orang's pelvis."* 



I shall now follow the list of admeasurements furnished by Prof. 

 Owen of the adult and young small Chimpanzee and adult and young 

 Orang-utan, and would have cited those given by him of his adult 

 Orang for convenience of comparison, had his specimen been clearly 

 a Mias Bamhi, as the large skulls are which he has figured ; but this 

 is rendered doubtful in a note.f Another table of comparison by 

 the same naturalist we quote to give the dimensions of the following 

 skulls. — 1. Mias Bamhi, Bornean male (Owen). — 2. Ditto, Sumatran 

 male. — 3. Ditto, Bornean female. — 4. Ditto, Sumatran female 

 (Owen). J — 5. Mias Pappan, lower jaw of Abel's Sumatran male. 

 — 6. Ditto, Bornean female (?) — 7. Mias Kassar, male (? Owen). — ■ 

 8. Ditto, female. — 9. Mias Kassar (?), adolescent female, with com- 

 paratively short fore-arms.

 by permission of the Board of Curators, from the skeleton in the museum of the 

 Royal College of Surgeons, in which the absence of the cranial ridges, and some 

 still separate epiphyses, would indicate the non-attainment of full growth." It 

 may, therefore, prove to be an adolescent Mias Pappan.

 graphs.
