Most of our readers will remember the engraving of a gorilla which we have some months since. The animal has been killed in Africa, carried England in a rum-puncheaon, and there ”restored” and stuffed by Professor Owen and others. It was considered so valuable a specimen that the Professor and his associates did not shrink from their task though decomposition ahs made such sad work of the gorilla’s corpse that they were forced to open the puncheon and perform their task in a moor, two miles from any human dwelling. |

A description of an uncommon Kind of MONKEY, not hitherto delineated (1772)
| Date | October 1772 |
| Publication location | London |
| Publication source | The Gentleman’s Magazine |
| Publisher/artist | Sylvanus Urban, Gent. Printed for D. Henry, at St. John’s Gate |
| Printed text | A description of an uncommon Kind of MONKEY, not hitherto delineated.
We meet with no drawing among the writers of animals that resembles this. The creature from which the figure here delineated we drawn, died at Port-Royal in Jamaica, and was there dissected. Gesner speaks of a species of monkey called Mamonet, which he describes as less than an ape, with a head resembling that of a dog. This was larger than an ape, having a head resembling a hog’s, and having no tail. Albertus Magnus speaks of the Mamonet; but his description defers essentially from the animal here represented. Johnston’s monkeys are likewise very different; of that, as this creature is delineated by none who professedly wrote upon animals, and has a very horrible countenance, it may either be accounted a monstrous production, or a new species never before depicted. What was particular in the dissection of this animal, there were not the least traces of a navel. The vesicle feminales were minute glands, and without any contained humor; tho’ the creature seemed very fallacious, never looking at girls without evident symptoms of desire. See Plate, fig. I. (note: f changed to s) |
