Professor Owen decided that the creature was altogether aufepresented by any specimen of natural hise tory known to the scientific world; and thelearned Professor embodied bis. views om the subject in a very interesting paper, which he read before the Zoologieal Society, Of course everybody begged to differ from the conclay sious to which he had arrived, and there were vote few who ridiculed as completely fanciful the drawing of the restored, animal, which the Professor had made without any other informavion to guide him than the structure of the sleull, At length, after extraordinary exer tions, an animal was. captured, and packed In. arrived in this a cask of spirits of wine, duly country a few weeks since; and it is found ta correspond closely with the description of it by Professor Owen, The gorilla isa native of Western Africa, and is known to exist, in very large numbers, in the Gaboon districts, where they are among the most formidable of the wild animals of the forest, The present specimen, which has been most carefally skinned and preserved by Mr, Bartlett, ander the direction of Professor Owen, is rather more than five feet in height, Itisa male, known to be young by the state of bis teeth and the condition of the sutures of the skull, Io features the animal is very much like a negro, and the orbits of the eyes are considerably projected. The teeth are formed almost precisely as fo man; and, unlike those of the monkey, chimpangee, or ourang-outang, they are of great strength. In the skull, which was first sent over to this country, the canines were nearly as large and as strong as those of a lion, The bair on the upper part of the head of the gorilla isa veddish brown, upon the cheeks the smooth hair is of a grayish hue; the back is covered with dun or mouse-colored hair; the hair upon the arm from the band to the elbow is black, and it grows upward from the band toward the elbow, The chest is nearly bare. There were thirteen wounds in the body of the animal, and two bullets were extracted from it, one from a wound which bad been a long time healed over. The negroes of Africa live in constant terror of these animals, which are gregarious; and itis stated by the natives that they frequently descend in consid: erable force, sack the villages, carry away the young children and devour them; and, farther, ihat they bave a very ugly custom of attacking men, aud wrenching off the heads of those whom they attack, If one of the creatures is tired at or attacked, the whole tribe come down to the resove, and eseape from the combined assault is impossible. How far these statements may be correct there is at present no means of knowing; bat itis certain that the gorilla is nota vegetarian in his habits, and that he would bave no ecruple in devouring any flesh that might chance to come in his way, A kpecimen is now in the British Museum, together with a skeleton of an old male gorilla, A few days since Professor Owen lectured before the Zoological Society ov the external characteristics of the animal, Le first called attention to. the shortness, almost absence, of veck; to the great length of the cervical spines, causing the nape’? to project beyond the ‘occiput;? to the great size and elevation of the blade-boues; and to the oblique rising of the collar-bones above the level of the angles of the jaw. The brain-case was low and narrow, ‘und a thick integument overlapping that ridge . forms a scowling pent-bouse over the eyes, The nose is nore prominen? than io the chimpanzee or orang-outang, not only at its lower expand, ed part, but at ity upper balf; the mouth is very wide, the lips large, of uniform thickness, the upper one with a straight margin, not showing the colored lining membrane when the mouth is shut; the chin very short and receding; the muzzle very prominent; the eyelils with eyelasbes, the eyes wider apart than in the oraug or chimpanzee; the ears smaller in . proportion than in wan, much smaller than ig the chimpavzee, but the structure of the auricle more like that of man, On a direct front view of the face, the ears are on the sume pars allel with the eyes. The huge canines in the inale give a most formidable aspect to the beast. The profile of the trank deseribes a slight convexity, there being uo in-bending at the loins, The chest is of great capecity; the shoulders very wide across; the abdomen somewhat promThe chief deviations from the human structure were seen in the limbs, which are of great power, the upper ones prodigiously strong. A uniform circumstauce prevails in the fore-arm; the leg increases in thicknees from below the knee to the aukle, These characters of the limbs are due to the general absence of those partial muscular enlargements which impart the graceful varying curves to the outlines of the limbs in man, Yet they depended, the Professor remarked, rather on excess than defect of devel, opmeut of the carneous as compared with the tendinoas parts of the limb muscles, which thus continue of almost the same size from their origin to their insertion, with a proportionate gain of strength to the beast. The difference in the length of the upper limbs between the gorilla aud wan is but little in comparison with the trunk. The bair of the arm iaclines downward, that of the fore-arm opward, as in the climpaneese, The thamb is much larger than in the chimpaneese—-a fact of great significance. The fore-arm in the gorilla passes into the band with very slight appearance of the wrist, the circumfercuce of which, without the hair, was fourteen inches, that of a strong man avvraging eight inches. The hand is remarkable for its breadth and thickness, and for the great length of the palm, partly occasioned by the extent of uudivided integument between the fingers The fingers are thus short, and appear as if swollen and gouty; and are conical ig shape after the first joint, by tapering to unils, which, being not larger or longer than those of . man, are relatively to tbe fingers much smaller, Tbe circumference of the middle digit at the first joint ia the gorilla is 54 inches; in man, at the same part, it averages 2} inches. The skin covering the middle joint js thick and callous on the backs of the fingers; the habit of the animal to apply those parts to the ground, in occasioned progression, is manifested by these callosities. The back of the handis hairy as far us the divisions of the fingers; the palm is vaked and callous, The thumb, besides its shortness. according to the standard of the humau band, is scarcely half so thick as the forefloger. In the hind limbs, appearances leads to an inference that the gorilla resorts to them in station and progression more than any other ape, The thigh hasa great circumference above the knee-joint, and a more uniform size than in nan, The relative shortness of the thigh adds \o the appearance of its superior thickness. Absulutely it is not of greater circumference at its miadle than is the same part in man. The bridegroom and bride give each other their baods at the altar, and the prize-fighters . shake hands before they fight,

Professor Owen decided that the creature was altogether aufepresented by any specimen of natural hise tory known to the scientific world; and thelearned Professor embodied bis. views om the subject in a very interesting paper, which he read before the Zoologieal Society, Of course everybody begged to differ from the conclay sious to which he had arrived, and there were vote few who ridiculed as completely fanciful the drawing of the restored, animal, which the Professor had made without any other informavion to guide him than the structure of the sleull, At length, after extraordinary exer tions, an animal was. captured, and packed In. arrived in this a cask of spirits of wine, duly country a few weeks since; and it is found ta correspond closely with the description of it by Professor Owen, The gorilla isa native of Western Africa, and is known to exist, in very large numbers, in the Gaboon districts, where they are among the most formidable of the wild animals of the forest, The present specimen, which has been most carefally skinned and preserved by Mr, Bartlett, ander the direction of Professor Owen, is rather more than five feet in height, Itisa male, known to be young by the state of bis teeth and the condition of the sutures of the skull, Io features the animal is very much like a negro, and the orbits of the eyes are considerably projected. The teeth are formed almost precisely as fo man; and, unlike those of the monkey, chimpangee, or ourang-outang, they are of great strength. In the skull, which was first sent over to this country, the canines were nearly as large and as strong as those of a lion, The bair on the upper part of the head of the gorilla isa veddish brown, upon the cheeks the smooth hair is of a grayish hue; the back is covered with dun or mouse-colored hair; the hair upon the arm from the band to the elbow is black, and it grows upward from the band toward the elbow, The chest is nearly bare. There were thirteen wounds in the body of the animal, and two bullets were extracted from it, one from a wound which bad been a long time healed over. The negroes of Africa live in constant terror of these animals, which are gregarious; and itis stated by the natives that they frequently descend in consid: erable force, sack the villages, carry away the young children and devour them; and, farther, ihat they bave a very ugly custom of attacking men, aud wrenching off the heads of those whom they attack, If one of the creatures is tired at or attacked, the whole tribe come down to the resove, and eseape from the combined assault is impossible. How far these statements may be correct there is at present no means of knowing; bat itis certain that the gorilla is nota vegetarian in his habits, and that he would bave no ecruple in devouring any flesh that might chance to come in his way, A kpecimen is now in the British Museum, together with a skeleton of an old male gorilla, A few days since Professor Owen lectured before the Zoological Society ov the external characteristics of the animal, Le first called attention to. the shortness, almost absence, of veck; to the great length of the cervical spines, causing the nape’? to project beyond the ‘occiput;? to the great size and elevation of the blade-boues; and to the oblique rising of the collar-bones above the level of the angles of the jaw. The brain-case was low and narrow, ‘und a thick integument overlapping that ridge . forms a scowling pent-bouse over the eyes, The nose is nore prominen? than io the chimpanzee or orang-outang, not only at its lower expand, ed part, but at ity upper balf; the mouth is very wide, the lips large, of uniform thickness, the upper one with a straight margin, not showing the colored lining membrane when the mouth is shut; the chin very short and receding; the muzzle very prominent; the eyelils with eyelasbes, the eyes wider apart than in the oraug or chimpanzee; the ears smaller in . proportion than in wan, much smaller than ig the chimpavzee, but the structure of the auricle more like that of man, On a direct front view of the face, the ears are on the sume pars allel with the eyes. The huge canines in the inale give a most formidable aspect to the beast. The profile of the trank deseribes a slight convexity, there being uo in-bending at the loins, The chest is of great capecity; the shoulders very wide across; the abdomen somewhat promThe chief deviations from the human structure were seen in the limbs, which are of great power, the upper ones prodigiously strong. A uniform circumstauce prevails in the fore-arm; the leg increases in thicknees from below the knee to the aukle, These characters of the limbs are due to the general absence of those partial muscular enlargements which impart the graceful varying curves to the outlines of the limbs in man, Yet they depended, the Professor remarked, rather on excess than defect of devel, opmeut of the carneous as compared with the tendinoas parts of the limb muscles, which thus continue of almost the same size from their origin to their insertion, with a proportionate gain of strength to the beast. The difference in the length of the upper limbs between the gorilla aud wan is but little in comparison with the trunk. The bair of the arm iaclines downward, that of the fore-arm opward, as in the climpaneese, The thamb is much larger than in the chimpaneese—-a fact of great significance. The fore-arm in the gorilla passes into the band with very slight appearance of the wrist, the circumfercuce of which, without the hair, was fourteen inches, that of a strong man avvraging eight inches. The hand is remarkable for its breadth and thickness, and for the great length of the palm, partly occasioned by the extent of uudivided integument between the fingers The fingers are thus short, and appear as if swollen and gouty; and are conical ig shape after the first joint, by tapering to unils, which, being not larger or longer than those of . man, are relatively to tbe fingers much smaller, Tbe circumference of the middle digit at the first joint ia the gorilla is 54 inches; in man, at the same part, it averages 2} inches. The skin covering the middle joint js thick and callous on the backs of the fingers; the habit of the animal to apply those parts to the ground, in occasioned progression, is manifested by these callosities. The back of the handis hairy as far us the divisions of the fingers; the palm is vaked and callous, The thumb, besides its shortness. according to the standard of the humau band, is scarcely half so thick as the forefloger. In the hind limbs, appearances leads to an inference that the gorilla resorts to them in station and progression more than any other ape, The thigh hasa great circumference above the knee-joint, and a more uniform size than in nan, The relative shortness of the thigh adds \o the appearance of its superior thickness. Absulutely it is not of greater circumference at its miadle than is the same part in man.
