54 During rapid flight of troop of Cercopithecus threw thorns & burrs stick to bodies of Cercopithecus - mutually paw each & careful cleaning of each other - one monkey stretches itself out at full length, & another sits down & examines its fur in most conscientious way, & extracts every thorn that can be extracted. Brehm states

56 - resist of Birds of prey by united strength - Brehm witnessed an eagle strike a young Cerc: which was at little distance from tree - the caught monkey seized branch & called for assistance - uproar arose & the monkeys rushed to the rescue, & the eagle was & surrounded by about 10 strong monkeys - who seized him on all sides, The eagle thought no more of carrying off his prey, but only how himself to escape; this at last with difficulty he effected, but feathers flew all about - it is very certain that this eagle wd never again attack another monkey.
