2IO APES AND MONKEYS 



not, as she was tied and could not have come had she 

 desired to do so. 



I have seen a few specimens of this ape, and most of them 

 appear to be of a somewhat higher order than the ordinary 

 chimpanzee ; but there is among them a wide range of in- 

 telligence. It would be a risk to say whether the lowest 

 specimen of kulu is higher or lower than the highest speci- 

 men of the common chimpanzee, but taken as a whole they 

 are much superior. I shall not describe the specimens 

 which have been known in captivity, since most of them 

 have been amply described by others. 



If proper conditions were afforded to keep a pair of kulus 

 in training for some years, it is difficult to say what they 

 might not be taught. They are not only apt in learning 

 what they are taught, but they are well disposed and can 

 apply their accomplishment to some useful' end. We can- 

 not say to what extent they may be able to apply what 

 they learn from man, because the necessity of using such 

 knowledge is removed by the attention given to them.
