Excerpt from A Hand-Book to the Primates, Vol. 2
I have little to add to the remarks given in the first volume of this Hand-book. I may refer, however, to the interest which attaches to the study of the extinct forms of life, in relation to those which exist at the present day. Although I have endeavoured, to the best of my ability, to present to the student as complete a review of the species of Monkeys known to us at the present time, I am well aware that there is an enormous amount of work to be done before our know ledge of the Primates can be said to be complete. There is a natural repugnance to collecting specimens of Monkeys on the part of Sportsmen. To shoot one feels like killing a sort of relation, and even our best collectors, who thoroughly under stood the necessity of obtaining specimens in the interests of science, speak with a feeling of pain of the human-like distress which a wounded Monkey exhibits; and it is, there fore, difficult to induce travellers to shoot animals Wth offer so much of a counterfeit presentment to human beings.
