" Since writing the above the cage in which our animal was con- 

 fined has been enlarged and several barked branches have been nailed 

 to a stem so as to fonn an artificial tree. These branches he ascends 

 with great activity, and freąuently swings with bis head down"wards, 

 holding on by bis lower extremities, and recovering himself vnūi 

 greater agility than any rope-dancer." — ^W. J. B.
