ORANG-UTAN.

The naturalists have given the name Satyr to this animal because ot its resemblance to man and beast, the face, head, ears, beard and
whiskers, the long arms and large hands all being wonderfully like those of a human being; while the shaggy coat of hair suggests the brute. It is not strange
that the superstitious natives should think the Orang-utan a human being gone wild. The picture represents this Ape at rest in its forest home, both hands
lightly holding to a vine, while the fingers of the left are laid upon the forehead. The great strength of the hands and arms, as well as of the broad shoulders,
are distinctly shown and the face recalls that of human beings one has frequently seen. (Pithecus satyrus.)
