Form of Skull, of Orang Outangs.—Viewed as a whole the form of the skull departs most from that of man in the lowest orders. In the Ornithorynchus the face is pro- longed into a beak or bill, and in the Horse the facial por- tion of the head is four times larger than the cranial, exactly the reverse of the case in man. In the young Orang Outangs the form of the skull very closely resembles that of man, and in the adult the size of the exterior of the cranium nearly equals that of man, though its capacity is considerably less. 198. Teeth of Quadrupeds, Carnivorous, Herbivorous, Insectivorous and Barbed Teeth.—The Teeth of Mammals vary exceedingly. They may, however, be classed under the two divisions of flesh and vegetable eating, according to the food of the animal. Those made to live on meat are sharp and pointed, for simply tearing the flesh Fig. 100. into such small portions that it can be swallowed, while those eat- ing herbs and grass, have the front teeth with sharp edges like that of a knife for cropping the food, and back teeth with flat surfaces, or vertical ridges of enamel in- terspersed between the ivory or dentine, which act the same part when brought together with Teeth of a Lion (Carnivorous Animal )a lateral motion, aS do the Upper What of the Lower Jaw ? 197.
