“…Therefore, it is imperative that squirrel monkeys, such as those used in malaria research [Young et al, 1975;Collins et al, 1978;Gysin et al, 1980;Dubois et al, 1984] where immunohematologic parame ters are of considerable importance, should be of the same origin and preferably bred and raised under the same conditions either in the wild or in the laboratory. Clearly laboratory-bred animals offer numerous advantages over wild-caught animals, thus breeding pro grams should be encouraged as suggested by other investigators [Long and Cooper, 1968;Kaplan, 1977].…”

“…Most of these studies have involved wild-caught monkeys. A number of investigators have proposed and evaluated breeding programs for squirrel monkeys in captivity [Long and Cooper, 1968], A few universities and commercial concerns are now initiating laboratory breeding of squirrel monkeys for medical research. With deterio ration in availability of wild-caught squirrel monkeys from South America (especially Bolivia), researchers may be forced to use mixed populations of wild and laboratorybred squirrel monkeys for their research needs.…”

Complete and differential blood counts were conducted on 23 male squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus) of Bolivian origin. The sample included 9 laboratory-bred and 14 wild-caught adult monkeys weighing between 600 and 1,500 g. The means of total white blood cell (WBC) counts, total hemoglobin and hematocrits of laboratory-bred animals were found to be significantly different from those of wild-caught monkeys (p < 0.01). Other hematologic parameters showed no significant differences between the two experimental groups. 3 of 14 (21.0%) wild-caught animals each had 1 reactive lymphocyte and 7% of the same group had 10 nucleated erythrocytes per 100 WBC. No reactive lymphocytes or nucleated erythrocytes were observed in laboratory-bred animals. The importance of these baseline data and the basis for the differences observed between laboratory and wild-caught monkeys are discussed within the context of experimental studies involving primates in which hematologic parameters are valuable.

“…One week after introduction of a male to the colony, the RO correlation for four successive water dominance tests was ro = 0.5, and seven weeks after introduction the RO correlation using the same procedure was ro = 0.7. 2 Animals were measured in December, and age was estimated according to Long and Cooper [1968]. 3 When RO correlation between P-I and P-II was less than 0.7 only behavior frequency is given.…”

To determine if a rank order (RO) would be established among a group of 5 female squirrel monkeys, 14 behaviors were observed and performance in water dominance tests was recorded. Significant positive RO correlations were found between active contact and chasing, and between urine-washing and closed genital display. Significant negative RO correlations were found between active contact and huddling, and between chasing and huddling. The RO determined from the results of the water dominance tests was unstable. It was concluded that the communication system in a subadult female squirrel monkey colony could not be described in terms of a linear RO.

J.M. Tanner concluded in 1962 that the growth velocity curve in body weight shows two peaks in primates but only one peak in the other mammals, and that the first peak in primates corresponds phylogenetically to the peak in the other mammals. Many reports on the physical growth of primates have been accumulated in the past 70 years. Using some of them as a basis, the author illustrated the normative velocity curves (increment curves) of the weight of monkeys, chimpanzees and humans, and reconsidered Tanner’s conclusion. However, there are still some as yet obscure aspects to be interpreted in future.
