Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A General Guide to the British Museum (Natural History): Cromwell Road, London, S. W., With Plans and Views of the Building, and Fifth-Eight Illustrations
In the first case (south side of the recess) will be seen 9. Bay 1, complete skeleton of a good example of the class - a Baboon 8mm Monkey, with all the bones separated, laid out on a tablet, and their names affixed to them. Below is a skeleton of the same animal articulated, or with the bones in their natural relation to each other, and also named. By examining these two specimens an idea may be obtained of the general frame work of the bodies of animals of this class. In other parts of the case are placed examples of modifications of the skeleton to suit different conditions of life.
