Gives references to some recent papers and articles which might interest CD.
Is currently reviewing Wallace’s new book [Malay Archipelago].
Has found no difference between male and female rhesus monkeys at the Zoological Gardens in amount of facial hairiness. Observations on other monkeys.
Gives some observations and opinions on the appearance and behaviour of mandrills.
Thanks EB for his attempts to find out about the mandrills;
sorry to hear that he has been so badly treated by the manager of Land and Water.
