PRICES OF ANIMALS. 285 
wards. Females and half-crown males are worth £4 to £6 each ; 
large males £8 to £12, £15 or £20, according to size and con- 
dition. £25 is the highest sum that I have been asked for an 
Anubis Baboon in Europe. 
2nd. The Drill and the Mandrill: quite young examples of 
these showy animals can exceptionally be obtained for £3 each, 
but £4 to £7 each is a more usual value. Adult males at times 
fetch very high prices, £50 to £100, and I believe even more. 
Family Cepipm. 
The common species of Capuchin, or American “ Ringtail,” 
Monkeys, Cebus fatuellus, capucinus, and hypoleucus, are gener- 
ally worth about £2 each. 
The only other Monkeys of this family that I have been 
offered are :— . . 
Chrysothria sciurea, Squirrel Monkey. £3 10s. 
Ateles paniscus, Red-faced Spider Monkey. £5. 
A. ater, Black-faced Spider Monkey. £38 and £5. 
Lagothriz humboldti, Humboldt’s Woolly Monkey. £15. 
Nyctipithecus vociferans, Douroucouli. £2. 
Family Hapauipm. 
The common Marmosets, Hapale jacchus and H. penicillata, 
sell from £1 to £2 each. 
Family Lemuripa. 
During the last five years an enormous number of Lemurs 
have been imported into Kurope from Madagascar, and their 
values have greatly decreased. The Black and White Ruffed 
Lemur, Lemur varius, may be still worth £3 or more, but the 
Black Lemur, ZL. macaco, the common Brown Lemur, L. fulvus 
(L. brunneus of Sclater’s list), and the Ring-tailed Lemur, L. 
catta, only from £1 10s. to £2 apiece. 
The Mouse-Lemurs, Microcebus, may be purchased from £1 
upwards, and the “‘ Bush-babies,” Galago, from £2 to £3. 
I once bought a Bosman’s Potto, Perodicticus potto, from a 
Hamburg dealer for only £3 10s., and I have recently been 
offered in the same city an Aye-aye, Chiromys madagascariensis, 
for £45.
