At this point I submit the foregoing to the world as the sum of my labours in this special field of research up to this time. I regret that I have been compelled to deny much that has been said, but I make no apology for having done so. In this work I have sought to place these apes before the reader as I have seen them in their native forest. I have not clothed them in fine raiment or invested them in glamour, but I trust that this contribution may be found worthy of the respect of all men who love Nature and respect fidelity. I have the vanity to believe that the methods of study which I have employed will be made the means of farther research by more able students than the writer. _Printed by_ BALLANTYNE, HANSON & CO. _London and Edinburgh_ Transcriber's Notes: Punctuation and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed.
