larger, of which we have just spoken. In the anatomical museum 

 of Mr. Brooks, professor of surgery, in Blenheim Street, we meet 

 with the skeleton of other examples, and another of the Black kind 

 in the possession of Mr. Walker, an eminent surgeon in London. ^ 



We also saw, some years ago, an extremely well-preserved spe- 

 cimen of the Black Orang-Outang in the possession of Mr. Fichtel, 

 a continental naturalist, who had purchased it in this country from 

 Mr. Stachbury for the Imperial Cabinet at Vienna, at the price of 

 fifty guineas, an original drawing of which, taken by the permission 

 of Mr. Fichtel is now in our possession, as well as a drawing of the 

 same subject by an artist of the name of Mills, taken in 1800, through 

 the favour of Mr. Stachbury, Jun. And besides those and our sketches 

 from the living animals since seen in London, we have been allowed, 

 through the kindness of Mr. Cross, to have copies of the casts taken from 

 both animals immediately after death. These authorities have been 

 been compared, together with the different interesting examples of 

 both kinds preserved in the Paris m-useum, and from those collec- 

 tively we have been enabled to produce the different studies of both 

 the species which we intend submitting to our readers. The Rufous 

 Orang-Outang is the subject of our present enquiry, the other will 

 become more fully the object of our consideration at another period. 

 The history of both those animals are so intimately interwoven that 

 we could scarcely speak thus far respecting one without adverting to

 chiefly to the Bufous kind, the Simla Satyrus. 



We have already remarked that there are scarcely any of the 

 known kinds of animals more rare in the cabiaiets of Europe than the
