The Head^ about the Ears was largeft meafuring on 
the Forehead, 'from one Ear to the other, Three Inches,-

from fhe Ears tp the Nofe, and not large : The Ears 
were about One Inch and an Hilr long ; not ftiarp, but 
of a roundiili Figure : Ttie Ri^lus or his Mouthy from

Thcfe Meafures, infeveral Particulars, I find different 
from thofe in other Authors : But I cannot but think 
they have made fevf ral Miftakes, for want of a more 
exad Enquiry and Obfervation. Thus Margrave 
and, from him, others makes the Fore-Legs iliorter than 
the Hinder; Crura dm anteriora (faitli (ic) hreviora^ 
mmirum quodlihet tres digitos lortgum ; Pofleriora panto 
plus quatuor : In our Subjeft I find the contrary ; tho', 
as we fliall obfervc in the Sceleton, the Bones of the Fore- 
Legs are fliorter than thofe of the Hinder. He adds, 
Fedes AnUriores quinque digitts Infiar mams coftfiafft,

res^ uti in Cercopithecis effe fokntjtent quinque digit is ut

Ch\NS ox Fingers i equally ranging with one another ; 
snd a hooked t^ail at the End of each Finger. But the 
Hinder- Legs are far differently formed ; for here we ob- 
lerve but Four Fingers armed with booked Nailsy and $ 
perfed Ihumh^ fet off at a Diftance from the Range of 
the other Fingers ; and as in a Humane Body, this Thumb 
was ftiorter than the other Fingers ; and had not a ho®k- 
ed or curved prominent Nail, but a tender flat one, as 
in our || Figure is reprefeoted. II tak i.
