The Monkeys are classed in the same order — Primates — as 
man, the correspondences in mere structure being very close, 
amounting, in some of the higher groups, to modifications 
only of form. All the man-like or Anthropoid Apes — the 
Gorilla and Chimpanzee of Africa, and the Orang and Gib- 
bon of India — belong to the first division. These Apes can 
be captured only when young, and as they are difficult to ac- 
climate, they are by no means common in menageries. The 
Society possesses a pair of Chimpanzees {^Troglodytes niger), 
which arrived in April from the Gaboon river, in Africa.
