The Orang-Outang.

The nest of a orang-outang taken from a tree at Borneo has been placed In the Natural History Museum at Berlin. The nest, which was situated about thirty feet from the ground, in the crutch of a tree forty-five feet high and about one foot in diameter, measures four and one-half feet long, and one foot to two and one-half feet wide, by about seven inches high. It is made of branches locked and twined together, and is large enough for a fullygrown orang-outang to lie in it at full length.
