  two 
  have 
  been 
  seen 
  to 
  join 
  together 
  by 
  their 
  hands 
  and 
  prehensile 
  

   tails 
  to 
  form 
  a 
  bridge 
  for 
  their 
  young 
  ones 
  to 
  pass 
  over. 
  The 
  Indians 
  

   also 
  say, 
  that 
  this 
  animal 
  generally 
  moves 
  suspended 
  beneath 
  the 
  

   boughs, 
  not 
  walking 
  on 
  them." 
  

  

  Bartlett, 
  (1. 
  c.) 
  says 
  "the 
  Black-faced 
  Spider 
  Monkey 
  inhabits 
  

   the 
  forests 
  on 
  the 
  Ucayali, 
  and 
  the 
  Huallaga 
  rivers. 
  It 
  is 
  found 
  over 
  

   the 
  whole 
  of 
  the 
  valley 
  of 
  the 
  Amazons, 
  generally 
  keeping 
  to 
  the 
  

   low 
  districts. 
  I 
  shot 
  an 
  adult 
  male 
  at 
  Chamicuros 
  on 
  the 
  Huallaga 
  

   River, 
  which 
  had 
  the 
  thighs 
  and 
  belly 
  very 
  gray 
  or 
  grizzled. 
  This 
  is 
  the 
  

   only 
  species 
  of 
  Ateles 
  ( 
  !) 
  obtained 
  in 
  large 
  numbers 
  by 
  the 
  Indians, 
  

   who 
  frequently 
  keep 
  them 
  as 
  pets. 
  These 
  Monkeys 
  travel 
  in 
  bodies 
  of 
  

   perhaps 
  thirty 
  or 
  forty 
  together. 
  This 
  and 
  the 
  A. 
  variegatus 
  are, 
  

   so 
  far 
  as 
  I 
  know, 
  the 
  only 
  Spider 
  Monkeys 
  which 
  are 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  

   district 
  which 
  I 
  explored/'
