Then followed a curious scene No
sooner had the bridge cleared the water
than the monkeys loOsened their grip upon
one another. In less time than II takes to
tell the story, the bridge dropped to pieces
and-what never happens with a common
bridge-the pieces betook themselves to
the tops of the trees, and were soon out

Professor Gudger has endeavored to cor
roborate these stories, but has been unable

to find any traveller or explorer who has
ever seen a monkey bridge, and he is, I'M
able to hear of any reports from natives
of the Jungle who have claimed to have
seen a monkey bridge.
In the course of his research in regard
to the monkey bridge, Professor Gudger
came across many other curious and in
teresting antics attributed to South Amer
lean monkeys by various explorers, traV-
elers, historians and writer's. French
traveller, named Henri MOuhot published
@ book in London in 1864, in which he gave
this interesting episode, which was later
copied in Bacons illustrated Library Of
Travel, Exploration and Adventure" as
follows:
1T is amusing, however, for one is inter-
ested in observing the habits of animals
all over the world, to see the manner in
which these creatures (crOCodiles) catch
the apes which sometimes take fancy to
play with them. Close to the bank lies the
crocodile, his body in the water, and only
lis capacious mouth above the surface
ready to seize anything that may come
within reach troop of apes catch sight
Of him, seem to consult together, approach
little by little, and commence their frOlics,
by turns actors and spectators. One of
the most active or most impudent jumps
from branch to branch. till within a re-
spectfu distance of the crocodile. when,
hanging by one paw. and with the dex-
terity peculiar to these animals he ad-
vances and retires, now giving his enemy
a blow with his paw, at another time only
pretending to do so. The other apes. en-
toying the fun. evidently wish to take
part in it. but the other branches being
too high they form sort. of chain by
laying hold of each others paws, and thus
swing backwards and forwards"
At the present stage of the investiga-
ton Professor Gudger is inclined to think

as the originating end? A little thought,
however, cleared up this point. The low
est monkey of the oscillating chain would
lay hold of the first bush or tree or branch
with which he would come in contact, and
would complete the living bridge, but
would be unable to climb any higher be-
cause of the great weight of the monkeys
pulling on him. Hence, when the monkey
who originated the chain let go, he would
fall into the water"
Following the history of this reputed
accomplishment of the South American
monkeys, Professor Gudger quotes from a
very modern American textbook, Holiness
Fourth Reader" which was printed in
1897 and is probably still in use in some
schools. Here the Monkey Bridge is not
only pictured by the artists, but is de-
scribed in most circumstantial detail, as
follows:
81 was once sailing down the Amazon,
and making short trips up the rivers that
flow into it. One night we had assembled
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1919-05-18

that the explanation of the monkey
bridge may be found in a careful
analysis and study of the various re-
ports Of writer's and travellers. Pro-
fessor Gudger selects the details as
presented by the account in Holiness
Fourth Reader
Investigation shows that this was
written by Charles Frederick Holder.
a naturalist and a man of high
standing, a writer of many books
and a member of many distinguished
scientific societies. DR.. Holder died
in 1915.
Summing up his conclusion,
Professor Gudger says: -
Let US examine Holders aC-
count more closely. First, it was
not yet dawn. things could not be seen
clearly; second, the stream was SO small
that the trees almost met overhead; third,
the monkeys might easily have been hang
ing to limbs and making swinging leaps
across the narrow stream; fourth, in these
tropical countries the vegetation along the
streams forms such a dense interviewer
jungle that there is no space on the land
ward side for such a chain TO swing back
from the bank to get oscillation enough to
carry It across the stream and, finally,
this account attributes more collective in
telligence to monkeys than they have ever
been known to show.
1T seems to me that the possible ex-
PLANTATION is to be found in the third point
just indicated. Individual monkeys GER
tainly make use Of swinging branches and
Of great palm leaves TO enable them to
bridge over the space from one tree to an
other. Using such a swinging fulcrum for
a take-Off' they have been known to leap
thirty feet. alighting, of course, at a lower
level than the starting point. A process
