" Numbers of monkeys live in the forest surrounding certain 

 large temples at a distance from Jinrio. I did not see them, but 

 sent my servant in search of them, and through him secured these 

 specimens. They are considered difficult to hunt, for they hide 

 themselves very eifectually in the high Cryptomeria trees. It is 

 said that with the help of a dog they can easily be shot, as the 

 monkey pays little heed to the man and his whole attention is 

 absorbed in exhibiting his anger towards the barking dog. The 

 flesh is commonly eaten by the natives, but on trying it I did not 

 like it."— i¥. P. A.
