Note 19 — I ON THE NATURAL HISTORY OF THE MAN-LIKE APES.

See Mr. Wallace’s account of an infant “Orang-utan,” in the “Annals of Natural History” for 1856.

The infant’s entire experience led it to associate teats with hair, and feeling the latter, it spent its existence in vain endeavours to discover the former.
