Much reduced in size. these monkeys, as the Gorilla, and Chimpanzee, of tropical Western Africa, the Orang-Outang, of Borneo, and the Gibbons, of India, are known as Man Apes or Anthropoid Apes. These have no tail, and to the casual observer they have something human-like in their appearance. The Chim- panzee and Orang approximate man in size, and the Go- rilla is vastly more bulky than a man. * Huxley, who includes both Man and the. Quadrumana in one order, the Order of Primates, divides that order into three Sub-orders, thus : iAnthropidse (Man). Simiadse (Apes and Monkeys). Lemuridne (Lemurs). Dr. Theodore Gill (see Arrangement of Families of Mammals, Smithso- nian Miscellaneous Collections), divides the Primates into two Sub-orders: 1. Anthropoidea (Man and Monkeys). 2. Prosimias (Lemurs, Tarsiers, Aye-Aye, etc.)..
