1874.—"There are just now some very remarkable monkeys. One is a Macaque . . . Another is the Wanderoo, a fellow with a great mass of hair round his face, and the most awful teeth ever seen in a monkey's mouth. This monkey has been credited with having killed two niggers before he was caught; he comes from Malabar."—*F. Buckland, in Life*, 289.
