Note 47 — Chapter I
Hugh J. C. Beavan translation
The orang observed by J. Grant also showed these signs of desperation; “he poured it (a saucer) angrily out on the floor, whined in a peculiar manner, and threw himself passionately on his back on the ground, striking his breast and paunch with his palms, and giving a kind of reiterated croak.”—“Account of the Structure of an Orang-Outang,” Edinburgh Journal of Science, vol. ix, p. 11. [The same demonstration of feeling was showed by the orangs in the Zoological Gardens, May 1864.—Editor.]
