So many years have now elapsed since the fact of a plurality of 

 species of this genus was established by Prof. Owen and Sir J. 

 Brooke, that it cannot but occasion much surprize that the several 

 species have not by this time been long accurately determined, and 

 more especially when the greatly increased intercourse with Borneo 

 is taken into consideration. Yet it seems that no progress whatever 

 has been made in the enquiry since the publication of Sir J. Brooke's 

 letter ; and probably there is no collection yet in Europe, which can 

 boast of so fine and demonstrative a series of Orang crania as those 

 which are now figured.
