The cost of each monkey separately crated is         £1 15s. 0d.

Crate                                               £4 17s. 3d.

                                                      £6 12s. 3d.

The six monkeys separately crated were sent to Professor Zuckerman and the six created together to Professor Liddell at Oxford.

...

No further consignments will be despatched until the warm weather comes again and I told Lane-Petter that before Irons foes out to the Gambia again we should lay down a clear and simple drill for the reporting of the costs of each consignment. Crates must be returnable, otherwise their cost must be charged in full. In future, Lane-Petter will send out invoices with copy to us, payment to be made to this office.'
