C. Koford 1965 2 Cercocebus alb. 6 November 1965 Hima Block, Kibale Forest, Tory Uganda: 0945, in green 100' forest along a dirt road, 4 mine Colobus + 2 others within 50yds. Same tree off 1 to 2' strips green bark, 10-20 mm. wide, dry peel with teeth. By one, for 3' over half girth of 3" stem. Branch peeled. Further out, branch completely stripped of bark. Another tree, 3" branch completely peeled for 6+ feet. Do mangabeys strip Encephalton bark + colobus get blame? 20 mi. E. Kampala, 7+1mi. N. Lwazi, ganda. 11-12 November 1965. With Neal Chalmers, visited Malwa (?) forest area when he studied. He said 3 groups in study area, about 1/2 mile apart. Lived in denser part forest than C. nictitans. We saw one gp. at, with one carrying inf. Heard alarm calls, loud. An eagle (=?-some sort, bares look) perched 100 yds. from monkeys may have been cause alarm. C. says these monkeys often strip bark of dying trees.
