A young orang, made jealous by her keeper attending to another 1nonkey, slightly uncovered her teeth, and, uttering a peevish ~ noise like tish-shist, turned her back on him. Both orangs and chimpanzees, when a little n1ore angered, protrude their lips greatly, and 1nake a harsh barking noise. A young fetnale chin1- panz , in a violent passion, presented a curious resen1- blance to a child in the same state. She screan1ecl loudly with widely open 1nouth, the lips being retracted so that the teeth were fully exposed. She threw her arms wildly about, sometimes clasping them over her head. She rolled on the ground, sometimes on her back, sometimes on her belly, and bit everything within reach. A young gibbon (Hylobates syndar;tylus) in a passion has been described 16 as behaving in ahnost exactly the sa1ne manner. The lips of young orangs and chimpanzees are protruded, so1netimes to a wonderful degree, under various circumstances. They act thus, not only when slightly angered, sulky, or disappointed, bnt when alarmed at anything-in one instance, at the sight of a turtJe,17- and likewise when pleased. But neither the degree of protrusion nor the shape of the 1nouth is exactly the same, as I believe, in all cases; and the sounds which are then uttered are different. rfhe fl.CCOnlpanying drawing represents a chin1panzee made sulky by an orange having been offered him~ and then taken away. A si1nilar protrusion or pouting of the lip~, though to a much slighter degree, may be seen in sulky children. 10 G.
