FEMALE ORANG-UTAN AND CHILD. The artist here presents a home-scene in the iltt of the Orang-utan, a mother resting upon a tree-branch while her grotesque-looking child plays with her long fore-arm. These interesting ani.i are found in the islands of Borneo and Sumatra, and are sluggish creatures, who spend their lives in the trees, but are capable of greatest activity when pursued by enemies, their arm -. which are much longer, proportionally, than these of the Chimpanzee, enable them to swing prodigiou- distances through the air. The enor- mous length of jaws of the animal is shown in the face of the baby The striking resemblance to Man is more apparent in the benevolent face of the mother and explains why the name, satyr, " Wild man of the woods," is applied to the Orang-utan. (Pithectis satyrus.) (17)
