Abstract
A Whisper of Espionage: Wolfgang Kohler and the Apes of Tenerife (Ley, 1990) tells the story of the author's quest for information pertaining to a first-hand report that espionage on behalf of Germany was conducted in the Canary Islands during the years of World War I and indicates that Wolfgang Kohler, while director of the German Primate Research Station on the island of Tenerife, collaborated with Ernst Groth, German Consul to Tenerife and chief of the Tenerife spy ring, in building a radio transmitter to communicate military intelligence to Germany. Teuber (1994) claimed that the book was based on rumor. The present paper (a) answers this charge by providing some primary and secondary sources of information that constitute the evidential foundation for the interpretation presented in A Whisper of Espionage and (b) corrects errors contained in Teuber's article.
