corresponding toe 3f in. : os calcis 2 in. Total length of scapula 

 (with acromion) 1\ in. ; and of pelvis 9f in. : extreme breadth apart 

 of the ilia (or hips) lOf in. : clavicle 6f in. This specimen also is 

 marked from Sadong in Borneo. 



The third female Bambi is of large size and fully mature, with 

 the various epiphyses well soldered : but it has even less trace 

 of sagittal crest than the last ; the frontal ridges meeting as far 

 back upon the skull, but not quite uniting, and a small mesial ridge 

 rising between them above the vertex : the orbits are moderately 

 large and a little elongated vertically, measuring If by 1| in. ; and 

 the nasal bones are united and ascend a little into the glabella. 

 Size about that of the first specimen (marked Chapin), but the 

 muzzle rather broader or 2^ in. This specimen is nearly perfect : 

 but the face is disfigured by a bullet which had knocked away the 

 inner half of the right orbit and a tolerably large piece from the 

 occiput; which fragments are lost. Length of humerus 14f in.; 

 ulna 15i in. ; femur llf in. ; tibia 10i in. : circumference of middle 

 of trunk of humerus 3 in. ; and of femur 2f in. : metacarpal bone 

 of second or middle figure 4 T 5 ^- in. ; first phalanx of ditto 3^ in. ; 

 second phalanx 1 j-j- in. : metacarpal bone of thumb 2\ in. ; first 

 phalanx of ditto l|f in. : metatarsal bone of middle toe 3|J in. ; 

 first phalanx of ditto 3^ in.; second phalanx If iu. : metatarsal 

 bone of hallux 2 T ^- in. ; first phalanx of ditto 1 T \ in. ; and unguinal (!) 

 \\ in. Total length of scapula 9| in. ; clavicle 7f in. ; extreme 

 length of pelvis 11| in. ; and extreme breadth of ilia 12 in. 



The two remaining Rambis are males : and the first to be noticed 

 is a young animal, whose skull had obviously not attained its full 

 dimensions, though the last true molars had been brought into 

 wear : but the general massiveness of this skull indicates that the 

 animal would probably have become a male of the largest size : the 

 sagittal crest had begun to rise on a grand scale ; and the frontal 

 ridges converge directly to it, although these are scarcely indicated 

 for | in. before their junction. The teeth are more crowded than in 

 the full grown animal ; the inter-space between the upper canine 

 and outer incisor, which in our large Sumatran male is f in., being 

 scarcely \ in. ; and the first false molar, instead of being completely 

 posterior to the canine, advances considerably on its outer surface
