Quote pp. 64-66.

De l'orang-outang, et de quelques autres espèces de singes

§. X. Le véritable Orang-Outang , c'est-à-dire , celui d'Asie , celui de Bornéo , n'est par conséquent pas le Pithèque , ou singe sans queue , que les Grecs et particulièrement Galien ont décrit. Ce n'est ni le Pongo , ni le Jocko , ni l'Orang de Tulpius , ni le Pygmée de Tyson ; c'est un animal d'une espèce particulière (*) , ainsi queje le prouverai de la manière la plus évidente par l'organe de la voix et par la charpente des os , dans les chapitres suivans , où je traiterai de chaque partie de l'animal en particulier.

 

* … la tête du fémur n'avoit point de rainure pour le ligament rond ; elle est donc faite comme celle du petit Orang , dont il est parlé au chapitre IX. En expliquant les figures4et 5de la planche XVII de maDescription anatomique d'un éléphant male , j'aurai occasion de remarquer que ce ligament manque chez ce grand quadrupède comme chez la secondeespèce de bradypus ( le didactylus )de Linnæus.

 

Quote pp. 132-133.

IX. Du fémur , du genou et dupied de l'Orang.

§. I. Latête du fémur est tout autour fort lisse et revêtue de cartilage sans aucun ligament rond, singularité qui me surprit beaucoup : c'étoit ainsi que se trouvoit conformé des deux côtés l'Orang de la Haie, comme je puis le prouver. En disséquant l'Orang que m'avoit envoyé M. Hope , j'ai vu que cette partie y étoit conformée de même. Cela estd'autant plus singulier néanmoins qu'on trouve constamment ce ligament dans quelques autres singes , et Galien, qui l'a décrit , a reconnu même que la dislocation du fémur ou son déboitement hors de la cavité cotyloïde , est fort difficile à rétablir , lorsque ce ligament est cassé. Chez les personnes boiteuses , ce ligament se détruit entièrement, et la téte du fémur se trouve , après leur mort , totalement lisse , c'est-à-dire , sans impression , ainsi que je pourrois le prouver par plus de quarante exemples.

Comme ce ligament manque naturellement à l'Orang, et que cependant cet animal meut facilement la cuisse , il doit avoir dans l'homme quelque destination particulière qui nous est inconnue encore. Quoiqu'il en soit , son absence produit une grande différence entre l'homme et l'Orang.
