At least 6 ad.?, 2 inf, 4 yrd, 2 2-3yr. mins. | ? w. black inf. walked 100' from other & sat. Inf walk- ed to 1 ft. from her - she ate small green leaves from 40cm shrub, pulling stems (branches) toward her. She gray, brownish sides, red-faced, possible light area over h. eye, cream dorsal (?) Hair thin or from scrape, middorsal posteri. thorax (Toseda says white-nored). Inf. pecked up object & put to mouth. She gave once "questioning location call", 1 sec., ~. There only sounds heard from monkeys in 4 hrs!

Calm, sultry, bright; also seen & series. | A den stood within 3 meters growing monkeys; no apparent nest trees. | By 11:35 gp. had moved slowly off. Two came upslope to 50 m. from me. One fed, pulling bush tips toward (40 cm. tree); 1 cm green leaves. Sap very loose it seems. When all but close out of sight, I cautiously descended cellar trail on top of E. Ridge. Prob. slightly alarmed awhile; they walked up slope & crossed ridge, and passing on 10' boulder on way, & walk- ed downslope to S. About 12, incl. at least 6 1-4 yrs. & no obvious infants. I waited.
