Macaque fuscata 2 1 July 1965. Koshima, Kyushu, Japan Ko K. Yoshida says monkeys on Shodoshima breed early, & also two groups transplanted from them to N. & E.; indicates same genetic basis? - or carry over of early cycles, which might get later in time. Koshima - 18 mature ff; 3 born so far. First birth to highest ranked f. (no yrings, so all info. died last yr. (log ? killed); only one baby found). Cooler this summer than usual. Once a monkey, ad.07, to wander it returned opposite; 4 yrs. later back to island. Largest ff about 12 log. (weigh d by fishing a scale). Stunted - some ad. ff have pelvis permanently slanted down posteriorly; 2 yr. olds only about 6 lbs. Fed by scattering grain (+ other) on ground, where males eat sand as well. Gave a barley + pea mixture today; much crunching & not greatly relished. On island about 1:30 p.m., & soon 17 monkeys near me, very tame + slow. Long legged & slow moving compared to C.S. shrews. Hair darker & shorter than at Shimolita. But stage molt similar - many with medial anterior crown molted. One said to be 6 yrs. old lost at 10 to 12 lbs. Breed season similar to Takasaki, perhaps slightly later, tho T. anamala have better nutrition. Some molted forearms & scapular area too. Saw me eat yellow soil 10' above sea level. Y. said at Takasaki eat soil in 2 places + like certain rocks! 2 July 1965. Takasaki, Yamag At Takasaki about 5:20 p.m. Dirty run down appearance; a few monkeys nearby to R.R. trail on road. Yoshida said now 3 bands of about 42 - 180-720. Last gp. formed 1963. Last good census & 2 (marked w. point). Info. now larger than at Koshima. Some ad. ff. molting of smallest gp crown, as at K. about 50 feeding; Y. said there peripheral members; park closed for day. Shodoshima, of Okayama, Japan 3 July 1965.
