And in a marginal note, "These great apes are called Pongo's."]

[Footnote 4: Purchas' marginal note, p. 982:--"The Pongo a giant ape. He
told me in conference with him, that one of these pongoes tooke a negro
boy of his which lived a moneth with them. For they hurt not those which
they surprise at unawares, except they look on them; which he avoyded.
He said their highth was like a man's, but their bignesse twice as
great. I saw the negro boy. What the other monster should be he hath
forgotten to relate; and these papers came to my hand since his death,
which, otherwise, in my often conferences, I might have learned. Perhaps
he meaneth the Pigmy Pongo killers mentioned."]

[Footnote 6: I am indebted to Dr. Wright, of Cheltenham, whose
paleontological labours are so well known, for bringing this interesting
relic to my knowledge. Tyson's granddaughter, it appears, married Dr.
Allardyce, a physician of repute in Cheltenham, and brought, as part of
her dowry, the skeleton of the 'Pygmie.' Dr. Allardyce presented it to
the Cheltenham Museum, and, through the good offices of my friend Dr.
Wright, the authorities of the Museum have permitted me to borrow, what
is, perhaps its most remarkable ornament.]

[Footnote 7: "Mandrill" seems to signify a "man-like ape," the word
"Drill" or "Dril" having been anciently employed in England to denote an
Ape or Baboon. Thus in the fifth edition of Blount's "Glossographia, or
a Dictionary interpreting the hard words of whatsoever language now used
in our refined English tongue...very useful for all such as desire to
understand what they read," published in 1681, I find, "Dril--a
stone-cutter's tool wherewith he bores little holes in marble, etc. Also
a large overgrown Ape and Baboon, so called." "Drill" is used in the
same sense in Charleton's "Onomasticon Zoicon," 1668. The singular
etymology of the word given by Buffon seems hardly a probable one.]
