Kassar

The pappan, with two molars, showed the callosities distinctly, and was as tall and far stouter than the kassar with three molars, while the kassar had no vestige of the callosities. ❋ Henry Keppel (N/A)

The natives of the northwest coast of Borneo are all positive as to the existence of two distinct species, which I formerly gave you by the names of the _Mias pappan_ and _Mias rombi_; but I have since received information from a few natives of intelligence that there are three sorts, and what is vulgarly called the Mias rombi is in reality the _Mias kassar_, the rombi being a distinct and third species. ❋ Henry Keppel (N/A)

Mias pappan is the _Simia Wurmbii_ of Mr. Owen, having callosities on the sides of the face: the natives treat with derision the idea of the Mias kassar, or _Simia morio_, being the female of the Mias pappan or Simia Wurmbii; and I consider the fact can be established so clearly that I will not trouble you with their statements: both ❋ Henry Keppel (N/A)

The Mias kassar or Simia morio is of the same color as the Mias pappan, but altogether smaller, and devoid of callosities either on the male or female adults. ❋ Henry Keppel (N/A)

By the native statements, therefore, we find three distinct species, viz. the Mias pappan or Simia Wurmbii, the Mias kassar or Simia morio, and the Mias rombi, which is either the _Simia Abelii_, or a fourth species. ❋ Henry Keppel (N/A)

I had an opportunity of seeing the Mias pappan and the Mias kassar in their native woods, and killing one of the former and several of the latter species. ❋ Henry Keppel (N/A)

The Mias pappan and Mias kassar inhabit the same woods, but I never met them on the same day; both species, according to the natives, are equally common, but from my own experience the Mias kassar is the most plentiful. ❋ Henry Keppel (N/A)

Some days after this, and about thirty miles distant, I was fortunate enough to kill two adult females (one with her young), and a male nearly adult, all the Mias kassar. ❋ Henry Keppel (N/A)

The kassar has no callosities either on the male or female, whereas the young pappans dispatched by the Martin Luther (one of them not a year old, with two first molars) show them prominently. ❋ Henry Keppel (N/A)

Beside these decisive differences may be mentioned the appearance of the face, which in the Mias kassar is more prominent in the lower part, and the eyes exteriorly larger, in proportion to the size of the animal, than in the pappan. ❋ Henry Keppel (N/A)

The color of the skin in the adult pappan is black, while the kassar, in his face and hands, has the dirty color common to the young of both species. ❋ Henry Keppel (N/A)

I may mention, however, that two young animals I had in my possession alive, one a kassar, the other a pappan, fully bore out these remarks by their proportionate size. ❋ Henry Keppel (N/A)

Their mode of progression likewise was different, as the kassar doubled his fists and dragged his hind quarters after him, while the pappan supported himself on the open hands sideways placed on the ground, and moved one leg before the other in the erect sitting attitude; but this was only observed in the two young ones, and cannot be considered as certainly applicable to all. ❋ Henry Keppel (N/A)

The great difference between the kassar and the pappan in size would prove at once the distinction of the two species; the kassar being a small, slight animal, by no means formidable in his appearance, with hands and feet proportioned to the body, and they do not approach the gigantic extremities of the pappan either in size or power; and, in short, a moderately strong man would readily overpower one, when he would not stand the shadow of a chance with the pappan. ❋ Henry Keppel (N/A)
