It is important to note, however, that Thorndike's observations were limited to Cebus monkeys which, as contrasted with various old world types, are now considered of relatively low intelligence. In many respects the most thoroughgoing and workmanlike experimental study of monkeys is that of Kinnaman , who has reported on the study of various forms of response in P. rhesus.
The contribution of Hobhouse to our knowledge of the mental life of monkeys, although in a measure experimental, is based upon relatively few and unsystematic observations as contrasted with those of Thorndike and Kinnaman.
It appears, however, that Hobhouse's experiments were admirably planned to test the ideational capacity of his subjects, and one can not find a more stimulating discussion of ideation than that contained in his "Mind in Evolution." The results of his tests made with a P. rhesus monkey are similar to those of Kinnaman, for almost all of them indicate the presence and importance of ideas.
