To within 6' of one C. alyxso in gp. of 9 latter.
10 October 1965. In fruit patch .3 to 1.3 mi. s. of Kanyawara forest ranger's house, saw band of 7+ (2 juvs) - prob. 10+, in green foliaged tree, 60' up. Mod. dense forest; to 100+ ft. trees. | In Keigami estate area, now seen along Balutea field N. of Prisham Rd. for long time. [Have become motivated too much in finding trees? (11 Oct. - see next page)
12 October 1965. In morning, Carla & Kristi found 8 or t, includ ing small inf. and a juv., in tree near 1.25 W., the big Balavite tree at first. Monkeys made chirping sounds, & later came closer + made calls. Impression of being different from C. alps. it being more apparently aggressive -> observed. | About 1545, I saw in same area, 1.27 W., ad. w. inf. (black crow) at abdomen.
27 October 1965. Sawmill road, 1.25 W., about 1730, one in crown of 100' Balavite. One within 20 yds. of 2 C. alys obs. at 1.7 E. | About 1800, in forest edge NW of Prisham's house, 6 at about 40' up, going N. through trees, well spread out. Spz. seem more diffuse than C. alypscincius. Spread 100 yds., following about some route in file.
28 October 1965.

Near stream, 1 squashed + 2 others heard. The one, alone in tree, broke off branch, carried across tree, then dropped it - excited by observer prob. With more effortment, leaped. | To N. of this one, 5 monkeys in tree including C. badius Cerc. acerrimus, C. aegyptiacus, and
