Our
young
friend
certainly
said
something
of
the
kind
.
He
is
also
the
one
among
us
who
is
endowed
with
that
Celtic
temperament
which
would
make
him
sensitive
to
such
impressions
.
"
"
The
whole
theory
of
telepathy
--
--
"
began
Summerlee
,
filling
his
pipe
.
"
Is
too
vast
to
be
now
discussed
,
"
said
Challenger
,
with
decision
.
"
Tell
me
,
now
,
"
he
added
,
with
the
air
of
a
bishop
addressing
a
Sunday-school
,
"
did
you
happen
to
observe
whether
the
creature
could
cross
its
thumb
over
its
palm
?
"
"
No
,
indeed
.
"
"
Had
it
a
tail
?
"
"
No
.
"
"
Was
the
foot
prehensile
?
"
"
I
do
not
think
it
could
have
made
off
so
fast
among
the
branches
if
it
could
not
get
a
grip
with
its
feet
.
"
"
In
South
America
there
are
,
if
my
memory
serves
me
--
you
will
check
the
observation
,
Professor
Summerlee
--
some
thirty-six
species
of
monkeys
,
but
the
anthropoid
ape
is
unknown
.
It
is
clear
,
however
,
that
he
exists
in
this
country
,
and
that
he
is
not
the
hairy
,
gorilla-like
variety
,
which
is
never
seen
out
of
Africa
or
the
East
.
"
(
I
was
inclined
to
interpolate
,
as
I
looked
at
him
,
that
I
had
seen
his
first
cousin
in
Kensington
.
)
"
This
is
a
whiskered
and
colorless
type
,
the
latter
characteristic
pointing
to
the
fact
that
he
spends
his
days
in
arboreal
seclusion
.
The
question
which
we
have
to
face
is
whether
he
approaches
more
closely
to
the
ape
or
the
man
.
In
the
latter
case
,
he
may
well
approximate
to
what
the
vulgar
have
called
the
'
missing
link
.
'
The
solution
of
this
problem
is
our
immediate
duty
.
