which of all animals is considered to approach 
nearest to man, in the form of the head, the 
size of the forehead, and the volume of the 
brain; it is found in Malacca, Cochin China, and 
Borneo: also the Chimpanze, or Jocko (Simla 
troglodytes, Linn.), found in Guinea, and on 
the Congo. These animals are said to live in 
society, forming huts of leaves and branches, 
and to attack man with clubs and stones, to 
drive him from their dwellings. Besides these 
there are several other species, chiefly from 
Africa and India, and some American Monkeys. 
The latter differ from those of the old world by 
having four more molarteeth,or grinders,—in all 
thirty-six teeth—a long tail, no cheek pouches, 
nor callosities, and the apertures of the nostrils 
on the sides of the nose, and not beneath. In 
these Cases are also several Lemurs, from Ma¬ 
dagascar, the Flying Lemur, or Colugo ( Le¬ 
mur volans , Linn.), found in the Molucca and 
Philippine Islands; and, in the upper part of the 
Case, some large Bats ( Pteropus ) from India. 
The Cases No. 5 —7, contain various car¬ 
nivorous animals.—Amongst those called Plan¬ 
tigrade , from their applying the whole of the 
lower surface of the foot to the ground in walk¬ 
ing, are the Malay Bear (Ursus Malay anus, 
Horsf.), the European and American Badger 
( UrsusMeles, Linn.and U. Labradoricus, Gmel.), 
and the Rattel, or Honey Weasel (Viverra mel- 
livora ,
