LONG- ARMED APE. 
I every other particular, that they unquestionably 
belong to the same species." 
Pennant informs us, that a species of the 
Long- Armed Ape, was in the possession of 
Lord Clive, a few years ago, much resembling 
the last mentioned variety noticed by BufFon. 
ilt was, however, more elegant in it's form, and 
the arms were shorter. The face, ears, crown 
of the head, feet, and hands, were black : the 
rest of the body, and the arms, were covered 
jwith silvery hairs. It was about three feet 
high; good-natured, and full of frolic. 
That which we have figured is in the Leve- 
rian Museum, and is remarkable for the great 
length and shagginess of it's hairs ; seemingly 
needless for a native of the torrid zone. 
The Long- Armed Apes are mild, gentle, and 
modest. They feed on leaves, fruits, and barks 
of trees. In Malacca, the Molucca Islands, 
and in Sumatra, they are seen by hundreds on 
the tops of the trees. These seem to be of 
the lesser variety, not exceeding three feet in 
height.
