Chapter IX

.’ The correct sequence of chapter numbers has been restored.

In the List of Illustrations, some image titles do not match the illustrations presented in the text. The following titles have been changed:

‘The Green and RedMonkeys’ --> ‘The Gorilla’ (facing page 111) ‘The Sacred Baboon’ --> ‘The Chimpanzee’ (facing page 137) ‘A Group of Lemuroids’ --> ‘Anubis Baboon’ (facing page 211)

The list item ‘Hand of the Spider Monkey’ has been added by the transcriber.

The printed book shows some references to numbered ‘Plates’ (full-page images). This numbering scheme seems to originate from an earlier edition. Even though the present edition shows no image numbers, all original references have been retained.

Special characters have been used to highlight the following font styles:

italic: _underscores_ larger font: +plus signs+

Small capitals have been converted to UPPERCASE LETTERS.
