ORAN OTAK. 11 
In Dr. Gmelin's edition of the Systema Naturae, 
the smaller variety^ or the Jocko in its less shaggy 
or more naked state, is given as a distinct species, 
under the name of Simia Troglodytes. The print 
published many years past, by the name of Cliim' 
panzee, is of this kind ; as is, perhaps, the figure 
in Tulpius. 
The animal described in the Philosophical 
Transactions, vol. 59- p- 72. pi. 3. is by Gmelin^ 
in his edition of the Systema Naturae, referred to 
the Oran Otan ; but Mr. Pennant, in the last edition 
of his History of Quadrupeds, seems to consider it 
as perfectly distinct, and describes it under the 
title of Golock. It has a pointed face ; long and 
slender limbs; arms, when the animal is upright, 
not reaching lower than the knees ; head round 
and full of hair; grows to the height of a man. 
Inhabits the forests of Mevat in the interior parts 
of Bengal. In its manners is gentle and modest ; 
called by the natives golock, or the wild man ; 
distinguished from the Oran Otan by its slender 
form; and from the Gibbon by its having much 
shorter arms : colour entirely black. The short 
description given in the Philosophical Transactions 
is somewhat singular : The animal is said to be of 
the height of a man ; the teeth white as pearls ; 
the arms in due proportion, and the body very 
genteel
