The subfossil monkey femur and subfossil monkey tibia of the Antilles
Uacaries, new world monkeys of the genus Cacajao (Cebidae, Platyrrhini)
The two known species of uacaries, inhabitants of the upper Amazonian region, are the black head Cacajao melanocephalus with subspecies C. m. melanocephalus Humboldt and C. m. ouakary Spix, and the larger bald head uacari C. calvus with subspecies C. c. ucayalii Thomas, C. c. rubicundus I. Geoffroy and Deville, C. c. calvus I. Geoffroy, and C. c. novaesi described as new. The diagnostic generic characters described are the external, cranial, dent…
The taxonomy of south American sakis, genus Pithecia (Cebidae, Platyrrhini)
The report begins with a key based on external characters and a tabulation of diagnostic cranial characters for separating Pithecia from Chiropotes and Cacajao of the subfamily Pitheciinae. The description of Pithecia is based on external, cranial, dental, and certain postcranial characters with particular attention to limb proportions and the femoral third trochanter. The species of Pithecia are arranged in the Pithecia pithecia group with P. p.…
More on the Homunculus Dpm 4 and M 1 and comparisons with Alouatta and Stirtonia (primates, platyrrhini, cebidae)
The little‐worn deciduous fourth premolar and first molar of a mandibular fragment of Homunculus sp are compared with the cast of a previously described deciduous lower fourth premolar of Homunculus grandis and with lower molariform teeth of Alouatta and Stirtonia . Lower molars of Alouatta can be derived from those like Homunculus , but because of the fragmentary nature of the fossils, it cannot be demonstrated that Alouatta evolved from Homuncu…
Taxonomy of squirrel monkeys genus Saimiri (cebidae, platyrrhini)
Two groups of squirrel monkeys, genus Saimiri , are distinguished by external characters. The first, or Roman type, contains Saimiri boliviensis of upper Amazonia south of the Rio Marañón‐Amazonas, with two subspecies of which S. boliviensis peruviensis is described as new. The second group, or Gothic type, contains three species: Saimiri sciureus with four subspecies distributed over much of tropical South America, Saimiri ustus of Brazil betwee…

Two new species of night monkeys, genus Aotus (Cebidae, platyrrhini)
The nine allopatric species of Aotus recognized represent two natural groups distinguished by karyotype, color, and pelage patterns. Correlated with these group characters are reported differences in serum proteins and degrees of susceptibility or immunity to experimental infection with malarial parasites. The primitive gray‐neck species group of Aotus contains A. brumbacki (new species), A. lemurinus (with subspecies lemurinus and griseimembra )…
Races of the emperor tamarin,Saguinus imperator Goeldi (Callitrichidae, Primates)
Dental and periodontal diseases and abnormalities in wild‐caught marmosets (primates — callithricidae)
Examination of 904 skulls of wild caught marmosets revealed 92 with diseased teeth and alveolar infections. The number of affected teeth and alveoli was 259 or 0.9% of the total number of teeth including alveoli. Dental abnormalities such as super‐numeraries, congenital assymetries, and postpartum injuries were noted in 14 skulls. The diseased individuals appeared in 83 of the 207 collecting localities, and constitute nearly 22% of the 488 specim…
Catalog of Living Whales
On the nomenclature of certain whales
The following notes were made during the course of compiling data for the section on Cetacea in a checklist of recent South American mammals. 1 Nearly all names discussed are those of cetaceans not restricted to South American waters.
