FEMALE ORANG-UTAN AND CHILD. The artist here presents a home-scene in the life of the Orang-utan, a mother resting upon a tree-branch while her grotesque-looking child plays with her long fore-arm. These interesting animals 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 arms, ^hich are much longer, proportionally, than those of the Chimpanzee, enable them to swing prodigious distances through the air. The enor- iBious 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 rface of the mother and explains why the name, satyr, " Wild man of the woods," is applied to the Orang-utan. (Pithecus satyrus.) (17)
