QUADRUMANA

‖Quad‐ru″ma‐na (?), n. pl. [[NL. See Quadrumane.]] (Zoöl.) A division of the Primates comprising the apes and monkeys; — so called because the hind foot is usually prehensile, and the great toe opposable somewhat like a thumb. Formerly the Quadrumana were considered an order distinct from the Bimana, which last included man alone.
