1. THE TRUE APES: AI^THKOPOMORPHA. 
The leading group of the quadrnmana is that in which the animals arc destitute alike of tails 
and cheek-ponchcs. These are called the cmthropomorphoiis apes, as they possess the highest iu- 
teUigence, aud the greatest resemblance to man in their structure. Of those, there are three 
genera — those of the Ckimjjanzee, the Omnc/^ and the Gibbon. In regard to the species belonging 
to these, there has been until recently great confusion. Buffon considered the chimpanzee as 
identical with the orang, but it is ascertained to be distinct. The gorilla was also supposed to 
be the same as the chimpanzee : it is now known to bo a separate species. The pongo Avas 
regarded as a distinct species, but has proved to bo the adult orang.
