Acknowledgments 



IN the preceding pages I have attempted 

 to acknowledge some of the institutions 

 and individuals who have aided me in 

 compiling this bibliography. The Belgian 

 American Educational Foundation, through 

 a Special Fellowship, made it possible for 

 me to have the advice of several leading 

 European "primatologists," especially Mr. 

 R. I. Pocock, Professor Zuckerman and 

 Monsieur Frechkop, and to have access to 

 the rich holdings of the libraries of London 

 and Bruxelles. We are grateful to Mr. 

 Julian Huxley and the Zoological Society 

 of London for their breadth of view in 

 guaranteeing publication of a work of this 

 character. That the intensification of the 

 War prevented this collaboration in nowise 

 diminishes our indebtedness. In the end, 

 publication was assisted by grants from the 

 Belgian American Educational Foundation 

 and the Historical Library, Yale School of 

 Medicine. 



To Dr. John Farquhar Fulton I owe my 

 original interest both in bibliography and 

 in primate biology, and the incentive for 

 undertaking this work. Without his pa- 

 tience born of experience with this type of 

 work, the slowness of progress would many 

 times have led to the abandonment of the 

 whole project. Through his generosity I 

 have been able to have on my desk much 

 original primate literature and most of the 

 bibliographical sources cited on a previous 

 page, which ordinarily can be consulted 

 only at the expense of time and conven- 

 ience in the reference rooms of libraries. 

 Many of these were especially purchased 

 for this purpose. 



Bibliographical work places upon the cir- 

 culation staffs of libraries an amount of 

 work which must seem excessive, so that 

 we have deemed it fitting to mention the 

 principal libraries which we have used. In 

 this connection I wish especially to ac- 

 knowledge the efforts on my behalf of Mrs. 

 Anar S. Bradley of the Library of the Yale 

 University School of Medicine who has 

 handled several thousand volumes most 

 expeditiously and without a single error; 

 and to Mrs. Charlotte H. Peters, Librarian 

 to Dr. Fulton, for much technical assistance 

 in bibliographical matters, and for calling 

 my attention to many current items which 

 might otherwise have escaped notice. 



The vast amount of typing and other de- 

 tailed work involved in a project of this 

 sort could scarcely have been accomplished 

 without the assistance made available 

 through the National Youth Administra- 

 tion and the Bursary Scholarships of Yale 

 University. To one of these assistants, Mr. 

 Theodore Rosenthal, who has worked far 

 beyond any remuneration, I am especially 

 indebted. Others who have similarly given 

 of their time, often without compensation, 

 are Miss Loretta Roche, Mrs. Alice Peters 

 Irwin, Miss Pravda Hoff, Dr. Mehha Inay. 

 Valuable suggestions with respect to organ- 

 ization and terminology have been made 

 by Dr. Solly Zuckerman and Dr. Adolph 

 Schultz. And finally, thanks are due my 

 wife, who compiled the author index, and 

 to Mr. R. F. Gehner, who designed the 



book.
