The Anatomy of the Rhesus Monkey (Macaca mulatta)

Abstract

WHAT was a very evident gap in the literature on Primates has recently been filled by the publication of the volume under notice on the structure of the rhesus macaque, the commonest of laboratory and menagerie monkeys. Up to the present, there have been no more than two readily available books to which English students could refer for information about the anatomy of monkeys and apesDuckworth's “Morphology and Anthropology”, originally published in 1904, and Sonntag's “The Morphology and Evolution of Apes and Man”, published in 1924. Neither of these two provides as much detailed information about subhuman primate anatomy as does the new volume on the rhesus.
