| Summary | "A Hand-book to the Primates, Volume 2 (of 2)" by Henry O. Forbes is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This comprehensive work aims to catalog and describe various species of Primates, with a particular focus on their geographical distribution and biological characteristics. It serves as a reference for naturalists and biologists, providing substantial detail on different monkey species known at the time. The opening of the book begins with a preface acknowledging the complexities and challenges of studying Primates, particularly extinct forms and their delicate habitats. The author expresses the limitations of museum specimens, highlighting the need for further exploration to understand the full range of species and their distribution. Following the introduction, the text delves into specific genera and species of Primates, meticulously detailing their physical traits, behaviors, and habitats, such as the Barbary Macaque and various types of Macaques. This sets the stage for a detailed and structured examination of Primates that will appeal to anyone interested in zoology and anthropology. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
