Postnatal growth in two species of macaques
Using weight as a measure of growth, a comparison is made between Macaca nemestrina , the pigtailed macaque, and Macaca mulatta , the rhesus monkey. As these are closely related species, there should be resemblances and differences in the postnatal growth process. The analysis indicates little, if any, difference in growth rate. The data may not be adequate to indicate the average duration of growth. The rhesus, however, does become the larger ad…

The problem of age estimation: A study using rhesus monkeys ( Macaca mulatta )
Accurate estimation of chronological age for animals of unknown birth date is important in a variety of circumstances. This is particularly true for non‐human primates and especially true for rhesus monkeys. Data, useful for this purpose, have been organized in a variety of ways. The purpose of this paper is to duplicate some of these methods and to check their accuracy. In general, three methods of organizing data were used. The parameters for e…
Prenatal growth of long bones in rhesus and squirrel monkeys ( Macaca mulatta and Saimiri sciureus )
Fetal long bone growth was studied from 59 radiographs representing 35 macaques and 79 radiographs representing 16 squirrel monkeys. From lateral abdominal radiographs of pregnant females total lengths of long bone shadows were measured to the nearest millimeter with a sliding caliper. A linear regression line was fitted to the data for each species. The high correlation coefficients (min. = 0.92) indicated not only that over 80% of the variance …

Growth rates and phylogeny in primates
There is sufficient evidence to indicate that man grows for a longer period of time than chimpanzee who in turn has a greater duration of growth than rhesus monkey. The problem of this paper was to determine if there was a concomitant decrease in a rate of growth. Using the relative growth rate of Fisher ('21), it appears that for most of their period of growth, the rate of change is the same. Immediately after birth, when we have no data for chi…
Sensitivity to P‐T‐C among primates
The taste threshold of 228 subjects from 17 species of non‐human primates was determined with graded solutions of P‐T‐C. Among species for which the sample size was sufficiently large, only the chimpanzee definitely showed a bimodal distribution. Experiments with tyrosine and cabbage indicate that the concentration of the former, in saliva, influences the individual's threshold and that the amount of cabbage, or other goitrogens, in the diet prob…
