These dimensions differ considerably from those 

 in the pelvis of the baboon, which is extremely nar- 

 row between the crura of the pubis and tuberosi- 

 ties of the ischia, so that the point of the finger 

 cannot be introduced at the most depending part of 

 the pelvis, even in the skeleton. The union, too, 

 of its sacrum and ilia, is more towards the centre of 

 the latter than in the Orang Outang ; and the low- 

 er parts of the ischia are reflected outward. 



The Bones of the Superior Extremity. — The 

 clavicles present nothing peculiar, except that they 

 project rather more forward than in man, at their 

 junction with the sternum. The scapula is much 

 narrower, in which it resembles the Baboon ; but I 

 cannot agree with Dr Tyson, who thinks it proba- 

 ble, that this deviation would be less considerable 

 in an adult animal ; for there is no appearance of 

 cartilages, that, when converted into bone, could ma- 

 terially affect the form of the scapula. The Glen- 

 oid cavity is rather of an oval shape, and the form 

 of the humerus is less round than in the human 

 skeleton. The fore-arm and wrist present nothing 

 remarkable. There are two rows of bones in the 

 carpus, each consisting of four pieces, but some of 

 these were cartilaginous in our specimen, by reason 

 of its time of life. The hand is long and slender ;
