Seven measurements were taken on the postcranial skeleton of 249 specimens representing ten species of catarrhine primates and tested to determine their relationship with size. Size was measured as skeletal weight on each individual. It was found that the interspecific line based on the entire sample was in some cases determined not only by morphological adjustments for size variation but also by changes in locomotor adaptations of differently sized species within the sample. It is suggested that it is consequently preferable to study allometric relationships within a species or within a group of species that differ in size but are similar in their mode of locomotion. The allometric analysis reveals some interesting patterns within the data. Limb lengths scaled with either negative allometry or isometry over the entire sample. Within the species groups isometry was the rule except for pongid femurs, which showed negative scaling. Humerus length scaled at the same rate in pongids as in cercopithecoids but had a slightly higher intercept value. While colobines and cercopithecines scaled at similar rates for all seven dimensions, the colobine line was shifted to a position above that for cercopithecines in every case. It is suggested that this is a result of adaptation for leaping in the former group. Other implications of the allometric results are discussed
