Ouran outang or Bornean Orangutan Pongo pygmaeus "Edwards gives us as synonymous names the Satyr, Wild Man, Pigmy, Orang Outang, Chimpanzee, etc. The ouran outang seen and described by Buffon, said to be the same with that of Edwards, which we have also delineated, was a female." Handcoloured copperplate engraving from "The Naturalist's Pocket Magazine; or, Complete Cabinet of the Curiosities and Beauties of Nature" (1798~1802) published by Harrison, London.
