Intelligenzprüfungen an Anthropoiden is from the 1917 (based on research he did during WWI). The 1920 2nd edition, with the slightly revised title, Intelligenzprüfungen an Menschenaffen, is what was translated in 1925 as Mentality of Apes. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mentality_of_Apes.) It might be interesting to see if the original German uses one of those German "boxcar" words that is literally rendered as instinct-blindness (whereas the translator tried to Anglicize it into the phrase "blindness of instinct").
