Abstract
IN a letter that appeared in NATURE, vol. xxi. p. 371, on “Monkeys in the West Indies,” I observed that it seemed remarkable “that no species of monkey should exist in the wild state in any of the West India Islands along the whole range from Grenada to Jamaica,” &c. Since writing the above I have discovered that monkeys are abundant in Grenada in the wild state, and that they are very destructive to the growing crops. Mr. Watt (now at Cape Coast Castle), who took exception to Prof. Mivart's statement in regard to the existence of monkeys in the West Indies, called my attention also to this fact.
