Monkeys in the West Indies

Abstract

IN consequence of my removal from the West Indies to the West Coast of Africa, and of illness since my arrival here, I have not until now had time to read in the back numbers ot NATURE the controversy on the subject of “Monkeys in the West Indies,” which, it may be said, I created by my communication in NATURE, vol xxi. p. 131. I trust, therefore, I now may be permitted to reappear on the scene and to sum up my case.
