Zoological literature contains descriptions of parts of nearly three hundred Chimpanzees, but the anatomy of one animal only has been described at any length by Gratiolet (22). His account omits many special points, which have also been neglected by other observers, and the same can be said of the works of Sperino (47) and Yrolik (51), which give accounts of the com- parative anatomy of all the Anthropoid Apes. It is, therefore, evident that a full account of one animal is required to serve as a standard for future workers. The present account is based on the examination of a young female, Anthropopithecus troglodytes, which died in the Society’s Gardens after a residence of two and a half years. And if that species is different from Troglodytes aubryi it should be a useful companion to Gratiolet’s account of the latter. The animal had the following measurements:— Length from supra-orbital crests over head and back to anus Length from supra-orbital crests to in ion ,, ,, inion to anus Tip of acromion to centre of antecubital fossa . Centre of antecubital fossa to lower end of radius Hand (palm 4 ins. : middle digit 3*2 ins.) 23*5 inches 6*4 5? 17*1 55 9*3 55 9*2 55 7*2 55 * For explanation of the Plates see p. 429.
