RECENT ADDITIONS TO THE ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY'S COLLECTION, REGENT'S PARK, 1864. CREATOR: PEARSON.
Recent additions to the Zoological Society's Collection, Regent's Park, 1864. 'These have all been imported from various parts of the American continent, and the greater part of them represent species which had previously been brought alive to this country. The blue tanager (Orchesticus ater), and the pileated jay (Cyanocorax cyanopogon), are both from the forests of Brazil...The woodpecker...is from the more northern forests of the New World...The Brazilian monkey (Pithecia Satanas) is from the banks of the Amazon; the oppossum (Didelphys virginidux)...with its numerous family of young ones clinging around it, is from the Southern States of the great Northern division of the American continent. The species portrayed in the lower figure are all from the tropical part of the New World. The cuckoo (Guvia piririgua) is of very lively and peculiar habits...The tronial (Cacicus persicus) is one of a starling-like group of American birds, remarkable for their ingenuity in weaving long pendent nests. The whistling duck (Dendrocygna arborea), from Jamaica; and the little green bittern, from Para (Butorides virescens), do not differ materially from their well-known allies of the same groups in habits'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. Recent additions to the Zoological Society's Collection, Regent's Park, 1864. Creator: Pearson. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)

THE CHIMPANZEE AND THE OURANG-OUTANG AT THE ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY'S GARDENS, REGENT'S PARK, 1864. CREATOR: PEARSON.
The chimpanzee and the ourang-outang at the Zoological Society's Gardens, Regent's Park, 1864. 'The new monkey-house lately erected now contains specimens of both of the best known species of apes usually called "Anthropoid," from their resemblance to mankind. These are the ourang (Simia satyrus) and the chimpanzee (Troglodytes niger)...The ourang is a young female about four years old...In its native state the ourang is only found in Borneo and certain parts of Sumatra...The chimpanzee, also a young female...was brought into Liverpool by the last mail steamer from the West Coast of Africa, and there purchased for the society by the superintendent of the gardens, who was dispatched to secure the prize upon its arrival... It has been stated that the ourang and chimpanzee had never before been exhibited together; but this, we believe, is not strictly correct...In 1831...two so-called "orangutans" were exhibited at the Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly, one of which, from the details given, appear to have been, without doubt, a chimpanzee. This fact, however, it may be supposed, will scarcely prove any detraction from the interest excited by the present pair of "Anthropoids," who have already received a host of fashionable visitors'.
