Speech of the Orang Outang. 153 
There was no difference betwixt this organ and that * 
delineated in the 6th figure, but in extent. The united 
ventricles covered the greateft part of the brealt bone, 
and had feveral appendices, which infinuated themfelves 
into all the interilices of the mufcles of the neck and 
Ihoulders. 
It had likewife two diftindt meatus's coming from the 
in fide of the organ at the fides of the epiglottis, as in fig, 
5. and palling between the os hyoides and thyroid cartilage. 
A large and vermicular procefs was attached to the 
ccecum ; but the intellines were very different on 
the infide from thofe of men. The os fermris was 
kept in its focket only by a ftrong capfular ligament, 
there being no ligamentum teres : I had not obferved one 
in the Orang which I preferve, and whofe feet I diffecled, 
to compare them with galen and others. 
§ 5 . Having given the ftrudfure of the organ of voice 
in five different Orangs, and demonftrated their confor- 
mity in every other refpedt but the union I mentioned in 
fome, I fhall proceed now to the internal part of the or- 
gan, as it is deferibed by galen.

fented in fig. 2. confequentiy of the fame Orang.
