Monkeys I Have Met 



Bartlett was at the London Zoo, and he gave 

 me a private interview with a little orang which 

 had just arrived. The first thing the little imp 

 did was to climb on my knee, take off my hat, 

 and put it on its own head, after which it pro- 

 ceeded gravely to pinch one of the superinten- 

 dent's eyelids. In short, it examined us with a 

 scientific curiosity, which, in a lower animal, was 

 decidedly impressive. This little man of the 

 woods could not have chosen a more striking 

 way of claiming a kinship so often denied.
