"Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family" (The Wolverine, March and June 1921): This short story examines the strange and disturbing ancestry of the title character and the results of his examination into it. It was republished three years later in Weird Tales, much to Lovecraft's chagrin, as "The White Ape" (prompting him to comment in a letter "If I ever entitled a story 'The White Ape,' there would be no ape in it."). The story was thereafter titled simply as "Arthur Jermyn" until it appeared in Dagon and Other Macabre Tales in 1986. See full publication history and electronic text.
